SHOCKED IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT! HOW DID THIS EVEN HAPPEN TODAY🫣

Tips and things I’ve done to help my son in the mornings:
1. Have plenty of time, when you are rushing they can pick up on stress and then behaviour can be negatively impacted
2. Use a daily schedule planner that you go through each night and morning so they know exactly what’s happening. Give them some choice to some extent when placing the cards on which order things are done so they have some control
3. If tantrums or meltdowns happen be gentle and calm. Try and think of theatrical funny solutions to shift their mood, this is draining but easier than enduring a full blown meltdown
4. Don’t bring bikes or scooters this made it worse for us when he had to get off and leave his bike at the door
5. This is an important one, bring a comfort item from home. Arlo’s is his nursery bunny 🐰this really helps him, we sometimes use different teddy bears and pretend it’s their first day at nursery so Arlo has to help them get to nursery on time, show them round and be their friend.
But please note, these are things that may help. Even when we do all these things we can still have really tricky nursery drop offs. I know how hard it can be and emotionally draining but keep going, you are doing everything right 💗
