Conquering The Weekday Morning Blues

How well do you manage housework? While some seem to manage housework smoothly

, most parents are in the dark on how to keep their household, their kids and even their sanity on track. This is particularly true every morning as most parents race against the clock to get everybody moving. Organizing is one way to ease the stress such morning brings.

Set a chore schedule weekly and break down the tasks as much as possible. Ask family members to pitch in and get things done. Perhaps your child can help you sort out used clothes for Monday's laundry day.

You don't need to be a kitchen whiz to be able to prepare a hearty breakfast for your family. Healthy foods that take no time to prepare are readily available in the market. So next time you think of flipping whole wheat pancakes on the griddle, try serving instant oatmeal with milk and fresh fruits that you can prepare in a flash.

Children work best through tasks when there are guidelines installed during school days. These reduce the need for a parent to nag a child to get ready for school.

School mornings work best when there is routine in place. This reduces the need for constant reminders to get up early, brush their teeth, comb their hair, eat breakfast and get ready for school. This prevents the child from doing other activities that might cause tardiness on a school day.

How much time do you waste looking for things that are lost in a heap of clutter? Having a designated place for everything and everyone will keep you from wasting time. A child who knows where to look for his stuffs makes less fuss than those who don't.

A storage bin designated for each member of the family keeps personal belongings separated. Installing hooks for jackets may mean never having to pick them up off the floor.

Lastly, when the going gets too tough during such mornings, take a short time out to relax. It might be all you need to recharge and get through all tasks. After all, a stressed out parent results in stressed out kids and we know that is not a healthy environment.
