Mornings can feel like a race, especially with energetic toddlers. Having a predictable routine helps children feel safe, reduce stress, and build independence (CDC-MI). Research shows that consistent routines improve self-regulation, attention, and even brain development (The Times).
We’ve created two printable morning checklists to make things easier: a blank version for personalizing tasks, and a pre-filled version with ideas for morning tasks you might find helpful. Add your child’s name and give them a fun way to take charge of their mornings.
For extra durability, slip the checklist into a protective plastic sleeve or laminate it so your child can use a dry erase marker to check off tasks each day—making it reusable and eco-friendly.
Post it where your child can see it, and watch simple checkmarks turn into confident smiles.
