Secrets for a good awakening

Wake up the children well

Driin. The alarm sounds. And the drama begins. The amount of time available before leaving the house is inversely proportional to the slowness with which our children decide to get up. They - who don't have a sense of time - don't understand that you have to start the day. So often mothers start screaming and saying hurry up because they can't bribe the janitor once again to let them in when the gates are already closed.





The problem is that parents often underestimate the importance of good awakening. Babies need more time to get up and that's why we are wrong to be angry with them if - by our standards - they are champions of calm. It is therefore good that we adapt to their times and not theirs to ours. How? With simple ones "Tricks" that will make them face the new day better.

As for sleep, also for waking up children need one routine. Better to start the day with the same song or the same fairy tale that is told every morning, so that the child can gain confidence.
