If getting your kids out the door every morning feels like one long string of:

“Get dressed.”
“Brush your teeth.”
“Where are your shoes?”
“We’re going to be late!”

Try adding a little playfulness instead.

Race them downstairs. Put on a song and see if they can get dressed before it ends. See who can get their shoes on first. Let the winner pick the music in the car.

It sounds simple, but making it a game can turn a power struggle into connection and cooperation.

You don’t have to make everything fun. But sometimes, when repeating yourself isn’t working, changing the energy works better than getting louder.
