If you’re expecting your kiddos to have adult time awareness and move at adult speed, you’re likely setting yourself up for big time adult annoyance. Once you build in buffer time and create systems that work for their brains, everything changes.

And this is really key: wake up fifteen minutes earlier just for you - get your coffee buzz on, meditate, do whatever you need.
