Sally asks: School mornings are a real pain with fights and arguments over where stuff is. Any ideas Auntie Flo?

Auntie Flo: School mornings can be hectic and stressful mornings. I used to do this (too many years ago now to count!).

Keep a laundry basket by the front door and have your children fill it the night before with everything they will need for school the next day, backpack, keys, gym clothes, money, hats, homework etc.

Make sure each child puts in their things the evening before so they have time to think about what they will need. Each morning as they leave, they have everything they need in the one place. By the time the last child leaves, the basket should be empty!
