Kathmandu:

Have the kids shower the night before. Assign everyone 15 minutes morning time in the bathroom.

Plan outfits in advance — especially if your kids don’t wear school uniforms. On Saturday, get the kids to lay out their clothes for the week. Make sure there are no rips or tears and that everything is clean.

Make a schedule your children’s extra classes like sports on Mondays and Wednesdays. Dance classes on Tuesdays. You can list the necessary items required for these classes on Saturday itself.

Get the children to assemble everything they need the night before: backpacks, lunches, stuff for after-school activities.

You never know when they are going to finish one and ask for a new one. Just buy extra copies at the beginning of the year and keep them at home so that your children can use it.
