As-Salamu ‘Alaykum,
Thank you for writing to us. Getting children to school on time is a common issue many parents have due to children not wanting to get up or just being tired early in the morning.
Sleep early
There are many things a parent can do. Maybe you can start putting your child to bed a bit earlier. This will give them extra time to relax and fall asleep on time.
Often, children who have a bedtime of 8 pm will actually fall asleep at 8:30 or 9 pm as it takes some children a little bit of extra time to unwind and fall asleep once they are put to bed.
Offer an incentive
Another way to encourage children to move a little faster in the morning. You may offer an incentive for completing their morning tasks on time.
Perhaps if your child is ready 10 minutes before it’s time to leave they will get a favorite snack or be able to play a favorite game when they get home.
Also, waking a child up 20 minutes to a half hour earlier to get ready for school will reduce the tardiness as they will have an extra half hour or so to get ready.
Conclusion
Lastly, you can always set the clocks ahead a few minutes to give your family the extra you need in the morning to get prepared. It is not an easy task getting children to school on time, but with some creative thinking, it can be done!
Salam,
