school runs without shouting/nagging????

[littleraysofsunshine]

I try to chilled methods, fun, structured, routine, no routine. It all! We have a five, three and a half, two year old and I'm due in four weeks with number four.

Life has been so stressful since having a school run and I'd love to know how to get back to being a chilled mum of almost four.

My expectations are real, sometimes I think ohhhhhh why don't they listen. They are still so small butRr I'd love to know how to get them ready. Without shouting.

Get as much as possible don't the night before- lunches made, clothes ready in a pile etc have exactly the same routine every morning- doesn't matter what order things are done as long as it's the same every day. Aim to leave 15 minutes earlier than you need to so you've time for last minute dramas or playing in the playground if you're early.

Done not don't
