```text
Help me make school mornings calmer. My child is [CHILD'S AGE, e.g. 4] and mornings go like this: [WHAT HAPPENS, e.g. hides under covers, fights getting dressed]. We need to leave by [LEAVE TIME, e.g. 7:45]. 1) Suggest possible reasons each hard moment happens, such as tiredness, sensory discomfort, transitions or wanting control, without diagnosing anything. 2) Give me ten small changes to try, like night-before prep, lighting, choices instead of orders or a playful countdown. 3) Write a short picture-checklist routine my child can follow. 4) Give me calm phrases for the three hardest moments. 5) Tell me when it would make sense to talk with the teacher or our pediatrician.
