“Wake Up Sleepy Head!” was inspired by Andrew Holmes, Jr “AJ”, a 4 year old boy with a fun-loving personality and an infectious smile. The short story is a glimpse of AJ’s morning routine with his parents. It illustrates the importance of beginning your day with a positive attitude, patience, and a little fun will help reduce stress for parents and instill a sense of responsibility in kids at a young age. The more consistent parents are with early morning routines for children, the more likely they are to set small goals for themselves.
