Ways to Brighten Your Mornin

让您的早晨更愉快的醒来

Create a checklist for your kids.

为你的小孩列一个清单。

If you don't have kids, skip this one. But if you do, this is a biggie.

如果你没有小孩，跳过这一条。但是如果你有小孩的话，这一条很重要。

To cut down on morning chaos, hang a white board in the hallway or kitchen and list all the things that must be done before the kids can leave: brush teeth, eat breakfast, get backpack together, make bed, and so on.

切断早上混乱的思绪，在门廊或厨房里挂一个白板，列出小孩离开前要做完的所有事情：刷牙，吃早餐，背包，收拾床铺等等。

Have them check off or erase each item once it's completed. You can do the same thing with lists printed out from your computer.

做检查或者完成一项擦掉一项。你也可以用电脑打印出来。

Set a consequence: If all items aren't checked off 5 minutes before you need to leave, there's no TV, PlayStation, dessert, or computer time that night.

谨记：如果这些事情在你走之前的5分钟内没有检查通过，晚上你就不会有电视时间，游戏时间，餐后甜点或者电脑时间。
