Finding it hard to deal with 2 DS age 5 & 8 in the mornings...we have a rule in our house that nobody watches tv in the morning before school. They have loads of toys to play with, books to read etc.. but they often end up falling out with each other. This ends in shouting and hitting and slamming doors and me and/or DH getting cross and shouting at them. Not a nice start to the morning. This is all before I've had a cup of tea so my patience is not there yet!

I am thinking we need to plan what they're going to do the night before so that they get up and have a plan iyswim? What do your kids do in the morning before breakfast / getting dressed etc? Any suggestions appreciated!

One thing that might help is letting them have something they want to do, like the tv, but only after they are both ready for school.
