Waking up early for school is a common challenge in many households, often leading to a daily tug-of-war between parents and their children.
This struggle is not simply about reluctance or resistance to start the day, either. Instead, it can be deeply rooted in a variety of factors.
From biological sleep patterns to lifestyle habits, several things can contribute to this all-too-relatable issue. But, by understanding the causes and implementing consistent routines, both at night and in the morning, parents can definitely transform these trying times into a more efficient and less stressful process.

Biological factors, like their developing bodies needing more sleep, and external factors, like screen time before bed, can significantly impact their ability to rise and shine.
So, recognizing these factors is the first step in helping your child greet the morning with less grogginess.
