1. Have your kids set their own alarms
Our kids are sleepers. They are all night owls which then make early school mornings challenging for them to wake up.  Knowing this, we decided it was time for them to set their own alarms. We?ve made it fun for them, too.  We downloaded an alarm clock app for their tablets and phones that let?s them choose which sound and colour they?d like for the clock.
Now when it goes off in the morning, it?s no longer myself or my husband trying to get them up but rather the alarm (which, funny enough, they never seem to talk back to!)

4. Get fruits and veggies in with breakfast
With busy lives, it can be tough to ensure that the kids are always getting the right amount of fruits and veggies that their growing bodies need. Even though I send them with packed fruits and vegetables for school, I can?t always ensure that they get eaten. In our home, we love SunRype Fruit Plus Veggies 100 percent Juices. Our go-to flavour is strawberry banana, which has no sugar added and counts as two servings of fruits and veggies per 250 ml. While it?s never been tough for me to get my kids to eat fruit, veggies are a whole other story ? especially for my boys. Knowing that these juices contain carrots, celery, lettuce, beets and more is so reassuring for this concerned momma who wants to make sure her kids get the best nutrition.
