Practice the parking-lot routine

The day started with a confident “we have this.” Then came the snack negotiation. Children should know who they hold onto and where they wait before doors open. A quick reset - choose one adult for each child, then practice where everyone stands - turned it back into a good story instead of a long afternoon.

A little planning goes a long way, especially when kids are involved. Safety first!

Such a simple plan, but it can make a big difference! Knowing who each child stays with and where to meet keeps things much calmer.
