The Morning Meltdown Fix

Lena Fairwood

Some mornings fall apart before anyone even reaches the car, and by the third meltdown the whole day feels ruined before it starts. This is the calmer way through: why transitions hit children so hard right when the clock is loudest, how to build a launch sequence that holds even on hard days, what to say when tears start, and small adjustments the night before that spare everyone the scramble. Grounded, kind, and easy to put into practice tomorrow.
