Mornings and afternoons are the highest stress points of the week, with school and activities and uniforms and leaving times. It can all end in tears on a regular basis. I'm only managing one child's schedule so I can imagine how overwhelming it can be for those of you juggling multiple kids, schools and activities. That's why I wanted to help you our with my free weekly planner!
Tully is in her last year of primary school and it's important she take responsibility for managing her own school stuff and her own time. But these are all really important skills that I think, as parents, we sometimes forget to teach them these skills, because sometimes its just easier to do it ourselves.
Tully can get overwhelmed when she has a busy weekly schedule. Because she has an anxious personality it helps her to know what's happening in advance so she can prepare for it. With that in mind, I created the below schedule for her wardrobe door so she can see it before she goes to bed. Then she can see what she needs to pack for the next day, what she has on and if she has after school activities. it also tells her what to wear.
When I shared it with you all on Facebook you said you would like the template too so I've put a primary school and high school one below. Just click on the link to download.

I hope this helps you and your family manage the mornings better, and that the kids begin to take responsibility for their own possessions. (well that's the dream anyway!)
