Parenting is tricky. While we ensure to provide the best of everything for our children, we also need to ensure that we teach them the values and skills required to navigate through life. A calming morning routine should be set with the child so that we can feel safe and relaxed throughout the day. “Routines in general can be tricky but morning routines especially because there tends to be a time crunch. So much to do in so little time. This is your gentle reminder to make sure to infuse short bursts of connection to help reduce stress and cut back on power struggles,” wrote Psychologist Jazmine McCoy.(Unsplash)
