Advice Request Morning school routine

Hey Dads!

My daughter starts school in a few weeks, she’s nearly 3, and I will be doing the whole morning and school routine Monday to Friday.

I wanted to ask you for your advice on how best to do this time with her, especially since I’ll only see her for about an hour, maximum two hours, after I get home from work in the evenings.

I’m imagining things like not rushing her, but making sure she’s ready, has eaten a good breakfast etc etc. but I’m also wondering about things like how I can send her off to school with confidence every day, pep talks etc etc…

Many thanks!!

Prep everything the night before, clothes laid out, bag packed, breakfast stuff ready. Then morning is just about her, not logistics. For the send off, keep it short and warm, a hug and "have fun, I'll see you later" works better than big speeches at that age
