This is spot on. It adds so much anxiety to their day.

There’s also socialization that happen before the bell and they lose out on that.

My mom was late all the time. It gave me so much anxiety as a kid. My kids are always early to everything!

I’d like to add- wake your kids up in the morning with plenty of time to get ready so that they’re not anxious, rushing and associating that feeling with going to school. It sets the tone for their whole day. 💕

I politely disagree. I think this is all based on age. If you are just starting out with school and have a younger child kindergarten and first grade it’s OK to be late. There’s a lot to adjust to as a parent and as a child with routines. Things don’t always go as expected as there are some big feelings with little kids and they don’t know how to express them. I’ve always taken the approach of sitting down with my kids in the morning and making them feel better and emotionally stable before we leave for school. Those are the time sometimes when we are late as I try to get them regulated. These emotions happen because sometimes we have activities that night before and they didn’t get a good night sleep, diet, they were sick and didn’t know how to express it as they were exposed to all new illnesses being in in school , etc.. We’re not perfect as parents and it’ll take some time to get a routine going but as they get older, I think it’s more important to be on time or Early for sure. Again, when your kids are very young and starting off, the last thing you wanna do is drop them off and they are a mess. We’re not emotionally regulated. It’s OK to take the time to bond and get them stable. Sometimes I would sit there for an extra 15 minutes with my daughter and watch a cartoon and hold her hand. She felt better and then we went to school.

When my daughter first started school I got her there right on time but she complained she was always one of the last to finish her morning work. From then on we were one of the first to drop off and it made such a big difference in her day!

I never skip your videos. I don’t know how you keep coming up with more amazing advice on such normal things! My oldest is going into 1st grade and I wish I could remember some of these videos years down the line when he’s older!

this is so true. it is the parent's responsibility to get the children there on time. we are setting a really bad example to our kids about time keeping for working life in the future.

Omg I’m so sorry the teacher reprimanded you in front of everyone. I really need to drive this point home during meet the teacher night. When a child comes in late, it disrupts the entire morning flow and makes them feel excluded. We know occasionally life happens but if it happens every day .. that’s very stressful on the child. I would never shame a child though always call the parent! We can try to figure out a solution together.

Stress in the morning is bad for adults. It’s the same for them but without years of learning how to manage it. Love your advice.

My son with adhd is a freshman this fall and will have to ride the bus and wake himself up for school. He was able to walk this last year to 8th grade. He doesn’t wake up with an alarm. What are your suggestions?

Carlyn, I just want to commend you for transposing traumas that you experienced as a child into knowledge that you share with others. It’s very clear that you have been an intentional parent with your own children and an intentional adult for the students in your class, you think your own experiences of insight to ensure that they experience better. I’m not a mom yet, God willing I will be soon. But you do inspire me and I’d like you to know that.

it was a regular thing this year bc we moved but now we have moved back. My son said his morning starts with a pointless meeting. He just got back his EOG',s. He is in the Top 1% of NC in Math and top 4% for reading. I get what you are saying though and agree but not always true.

As a late mom thank you 🙏😫💔 my kids ands I talk all the time they don’t cry and melt down because of it but I’m sure it does not set them up for success and is harder for them to feel “caught up” I don’t like to be late but for some reason I’m just always late everywhere I go I try not to be but it’s my biggest flaw this reminder helps
