For the Mornings That Start With Meltdowns, Silence or Shutdown
(And the parents who are showing up anyway.)
Here’s a free printable with 8 gentle, connection-based strategies to help your child get out of bed — without power struggles, pressure, or pep talks.
This isn’t a morning routine checklist. It’s quiet support — for the mornings that feel like too much.
If your child shuts down, freezes, flops, or hides under the covers, you’re not alone. These 8 gentle strategies are here to help you meet them where they are — with calm, connection, and compassion.
Because sometimes, the bravest thing we do all day is just helping them get up.
I’ll only ever send thoughtful things — no noise, no spam.
Hi, I’m Renee.
I know what it’s like to try to help a child out of bed when their body won’t budge and nothing seems to work.
This printable was born from one of those mornings — when I stopped trying to fix the moment and started just being in it with my son. These ideas are for the parents doing their best, quietly and courageously. You’re not doing it wrong. You’re doing something really hard — and you’re not alone.
