Yep, school is coming. Most likely, your summer schedule has become more lax and free-spirited. Vacations, inconsistent meal times, staying up late, and sleeping in are all some of the perks of summer vacation. As school approaches, parents fear the process of getting their kids back into a set and structured schedule. This is difficult for almost all children and parents alike. One of the major struggles I hear during the transition time of starting school in the fall is how to set a morning routine. For children with ADD and ADHD, structure in the mornings can help set the day and help them feel some control over their busy minds and bodies.
