I used to have a real problem with my girls – one really loved school and hates to be late – the other one was indifferent to school and rather enjoyed the morning world revolving around her! It was awful to see my elder child worrying herself to the point of tears if her sister started changing hairstyles at the last moment. We solved the problem with beads/buttons in a jar too. Now we have a policy that if you are in the porch at 8.30am you get a bead/button. On Saturday morning they cash in the beads/buttons for 5p each. It has really improved the weekends too, when my husband was struggling to get the youngest to stop playing and get to her swimming lesson on time. It’s a great feeling when you have outfoxed them!!!!

I’m really lucky that our mornings seem to go quite smoothly most days. You have some great tips there and i love the pasta jar reward system.

Great tips for smooth mornings! Your pasta jars seem to still be going strong and I find it a brilliant reward system. Fab idea to give the little ones some sense of responsibility, too. Mel #morningstories
