Triple P1 Tip - ?etting out of the )oor on time
Ey rofessor Matt Sanders

0or many families the morning rush hour is the most stressful
part of the day4 So ho' #an you and the 9ids get out the door on
timeH The 9ey is organi/ation4
Get yourself ready first; 6efore your #hild4 To a3oid last minute rushing prepare some
things the night 6efore and go to 6ed at a reasona6le hour so you7ll 'a9e early enough4
I also re#ommend against ha3ing the tele3ision on in the morning4 Eetter to ma9e sure
the #hildren are dressed 6efore 6rea9fast4 erhaps 'hen they are fully ready you #an turn
the tele3ision on then4
Det your #hild 9no' ahead of time that you7ll 6e going out and explain exa#tly 'hat the
day7s a#ti3ities 'ill 6e and their time re8uirements4 Iounger #hildren #an learn the
importan#e of organi/ation 6y doing things for themsel3es4 Tea#hing #hildren to get
dressed 6y themsel3es is a #han#e to pra#ti#e independent s9ills and it also sa3es you
time4 Iou may li9e to try the @6eat the #lo#9A game4 Iour #hild7s goal is to 6e ready
6efore the alarm #lo#9 sounds off4 If your #hild 'ins; he earns a small treat or re'ard;
su#h as a fa3orite sna#9 in his lun#h 6ox4
Tell your #hild exa#tly 'hat tas9s he must do to 6e ready to lea3e and thus 'in the
re'ard4 Ma9e sure you set the timer for a reasona6le amount of time and a3oid gi3ing
repeated instru#tions or nagging your #hild to hurry up4
Often it 'ill only ta9e a t'o)'ee9 period of 6eating the #lo#9 6efore the re'ards and the
#lo#9 are phased out4 "emem6er to al'ays praise your #hild7s a#hie3ements in learning
6etter organi/ation4
