Evening Routine

This before bed routine allows you to:
• Spend less time in the morning nagging your child to get ready for school!
• Have less stress in your life!

Here’s all you do:
1. Before your child goes to bed have her:

a. Make her lunch and put it in her lunchbox, in the fridge.

b. Check her agenda to remind her of what she needs for the next day.

c. Pack her backpack with her “Take Home” folder, library book, sneakers for P.E. (gym) or anything else she needs.

d. Check the weather and choose an appropriate outfit to wear. Lay out the clothing—including everything she will need to wear for the day.

e. Shower/bathe if she won’t have time in the morning.

f. Read for 20 minutes. (have then put the book in their backpack if they need it for school the next day)

Having your child be in charge of this routine is a great way to help them become responsible!
