No fighting in the morning (Good article shared from Facebook)

School has started for the kids. What's the first thing you do every morning?
Dragging your groggy child to the bathroom in a rush? Drumming up a commotion and coercing your child to get out of bed?

How to "wake up" a sleeping child is probably a big challenge for parents. Especially with the increasingly chaotic school bus arrangements in recent years, with classes starting at 8 AM, children often have to wait for the school bus in front of their homes as early as 6 AM. Children who don't get enough sleep and can't "wake up peacefully" naturally turn into little monsters.

My daughter just started first grade and has to wake up at 7 AM every morning. Putting ourselves in her shoes, we accidentally created a "chicken crow mode" that seems quite effective after a few weeks of practice, so I'd like to share it with everyone.

This is how we do it: set the alarm for 6:45 AM. As soon as the alarm goes off, I first go to the next room and gently pat my sleeping daughter. At this point, you'll surely find your child like a sleeping giant dragon; no matter how you push or pat her, she won't react at all. Don't worry, just softly whisper in her ear: "Mommy's going to the bathroom first, I'll call you after I wash up, okay?" This question is a bit like a secret code to a hidden passage. The child in bed will nod happily and peacefully, and then you can go wash up.
Ten minutes later, after you've washed up, go back to your daughter's bed. This time, it's to get her moving, but don't directly rush her to the bathroom. "Sweetie, would you like to sleep a little longer in Mommy's bed, okay?" At this point, my daughter usually springs up quickly, dashes from the top bunk to my room, and burrows under the covers. This is our most intimate mother-daughter time; moving like this wakes her up, and I lie beside her, telling jokes, and her sleepiness gradually fades away.
At this point, it's much easier to get her into the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face.

If you want things to go even more smoothly, you can do something in the bathroom, such as simply writing something on the mirror or drawing a picture to entice the child to go in. For the first few days of school, we "kept" a toy alligator that grew in the bathtub. Every morning, my daughter couldn't wait to run in and see this "pet," then happily washed up and changed.

Therefore, our mornings are completely stress-free.
