  1. Make a launch pad by the door

    Leave shoes, the schoolbag and anything that needs to go out together in one spot.

  2. Put out clothes the night before

    Offer two choices while there’s time to decide and leave the chosen outfit where it’s easy to find.

  3. Draw a three-step picture chart

    Try pictures for getting dressed, eating and collecting the bag. Let your child point to the next step.

  4. Give a one-minute heads-up

    Name the thing that’s ending and the next small step: ‘One last block, then shoes.’
