Mornings ask a lot from kids before their nervous system is fully ready. Waking up isn’t one switch. It’s a series of transitions that stack quickly, and some bodies need more time to organize before they can move, listen, or cooperate. When we treat slow mornings as a behavior problem, we often add more pressure to a system that’s already overloaded. When we lead with connection and support regulation first, readiness follows. That’s when mornings start to feel calmer and less charged. If mornings feel hard in your home, learning how your child’s nervous system works can make a real difference.
