With school starting right around the corner isn’t now a good time to start letting your little ones become more self sufficient?  Time is never on our side on a school morning so why not let your children pick out their clothes the night before and hang it on the doorknob of their closet door along with their underwear and socks? 

You will be surprised how much time is saved if their clothes are already picked out and hanging. If their clothes are not on hangers just fold them up and put them in front of the closet door. Not only have you allowed yourself a few extra minutes in the morning you no longer have to listen to “what should I wear?” This will also help your children become more self sufficient and start learning a little time management! One thing we have done in our house is put a pair of jeans and a pair of shorts out the night before just in case the weather has changed from the forecast from the night before. This is really helpful during the spring and fall when the weather changes every 10 minutes. 

You could even take this one step further and pick out your own clothes the night before.  I promise with the morning rush, rush, rush having one less decision to make will help get you out the door much faster!
