Parent + child morning tool

Morning Rescue 🚀

For mornings when getting to school feels like climbing a mountain. Pick the stuck points, build a five-step plan, and agree a Plan B before things go wrong.

Today's rule: We are not trying to create the perfect morning. We are trying to make the next morning a little easier.
🧩 Small steps count.
Getting dressed can be a win.
🤝 No blame.
Find where the morning gets stuck.
🛟 Plan B matters.
Decide what to do before panic starts.

Why small steps?

Families can feel overwhelmed when the whole attendance problem is discussed at once. Breaking a difficult morning into specific, achievable actions can make the next step feel more possible and gives parents and children something concrete to review.

This tool is designed to support conversation and planning. It is not a diagnosis or a substitute for school, SEND, medical or safeguarding support where those are needed.

Don't solve the whole week at 7:15am.

Do the next step. Use Plan B. Notice the win.
