Zoro is a lad of the night 🌙.
At 7am he still hugs his pillow tight.
He only sleeps when the moon is full
And only rises ⏰ at the sun’s🌞 pull.
ENTERS MUMMY AT 6AM.
“Rise and shine boy! School resumes today. Get up and get dressed.”
The young man rolls on his belly, grabs the duvet, pulls it over his head and snoozes off. Mum wonders why he is so lazy. The truth is, he might not be. He has had 5 months to practice the habit of waking up at any time, he certainly cannot be expected to get into the daily school routine like a programmed clock. He needs to be eased into this system.
So what should parents do? Start now!
You might ask, why would you need your children awoken at 6am during a holiday? What should they be doing?
Family devotion, home chores, cleaning the dog house, helping Dad or Mom get ready for work, an early morning library time… all these are ideas you can explore. But you get the point, we need to start creating this routine now.
Feel free to share some more early morning plans for children.
