Amy mentioned Sean and Stephen Covey’s “Work First Then Play” is from “The 7 Habits of Happy Kids”. In the adult version the principle is called “First Things First.”

Night and morning routines

• Take care of papers the night before
• Set everything up the night before (backpacks are hung up, lunch money checks, etc.)

If there is time in the morning, have the kids take care of some chores so they can play and get out the door and play with friends in the afternoon.

Sometimes you have to get children up early so they can pratice piano so they can do sports in the afternoon.
