Sometimes, waking children up in the morning to get ready for school or daycare can be frustrating and stressful, especially if they are grumpy and resistant. Try this: Have the children take turns being the first one awakened, and let that child go and wake up the other child or children. Sometimes, this simple strategy makes a child more excited about waking up, and it makes mornings more enjoyable. It is amazing how nice the children can be to each other in the process. Since they are taking turns, they realize what kind of wake-up call they would like to experience when it is the other child's turn!
Dr. Franques has been incredible for our family. She takes her time with every visit, listens closely, and never makes us feel rushed - even when we bring in multiple kids at once. She has a calm, confident way of addressing every concern, and her diagnoses have always been accurate and helpful.The practice is organized, friendly, and it's clearly centered around giving families the support they need, but it’s Dr. Franques who makes it truly outstanding. We are so thankful to have her caring for our children.
