THE “I ALREADY ASKED YOU” MORNING KITYou’ve Already Asked Them to Put Their Shoes On.
They know what to do. They can do it. But somehow… they still haven’t started.
The “I Already Asked You” Morning Kit gives parents of 5–8-year-olds a simple, playful way to help their child make the first move on familiar morning tasks — without adding another complicated routine, reward chart, or pile of activities to prepare.
You’ll learn the Start Cue Method:
So when your child gets stuck before getting dressed, brushing their teeth, putting on shoes, or getting their school things together, you have something else to try besides repeating the whole instruction again.
Open it tonight. Try your first Start Cue tomorrow morning.
No printing required.
No complicated setup.
No need to finish the whole course first.
Inside, you’ll get:
- The complete Start Cue Master Guide
- 4 quick-use Pillar Guides to keep the method easy to use
- Lifetime access to the members course
- 6 real-world scenario walkthroughs showing what the method looks like in ordinary morning situations
- A 30-day refund policy
One-time payment: $27

“How many times have I asked you?”
but they haven’t.
If this sounds familiar, you probably know exactly how quickly a normal morning can start to unravel.
You say:
“It’s time to put your shoes on.”
Your child heard you.
They know where their shoes are.
They’ve put them on hundreds of times before.
So you carry on getting ready yourself.
Then you look back.
The shoes are still sitting there.
So you ask again.
“Shoes, please.”
A few minutes later:
“Come on. I already asked you.”
Now you’re watching the clock.
You’re getting more frustrated.
Your child is starting the day being corrected.
And somehow a completely ordinary task has turned into tension before you’ve even left the house.
I know that moment.
I’m a mum of active children, and I’ve spent 20 years working in early years education with active behaviour.
And one thing I’ve seen again and again is this:
Sometimes the problem isn’t that a child doesn’t know what to do.
Sometimes the sticking point is simply:
They haven’t made the first move yet.
And repeating the whole task again doesn’t necessarily give them a different way into it.
That’s the small moment this kit is designed to help with.
Not every difficult morning.
Not every parenting challenge.
Not every time your child says no.
Just this:
They can start… but they haven’t.
What if you changed the start?
Instead of repeating the whole task, give them a smaller way in.
That’s why I created The “I Already Asked You” Morning Kit.
It’s a practical parent training designed to help you recognise those familiar starting stalls and respond with a small, playful Start Cue that leads directly into the real task.
Here’s a simple example.
You say:
“Put your shoes on.”
That’s the whole task.
But the first physical move might simply be:
Pick up one shoe.
So instead of automatically repeating:
“Put your shoes on…”
you might try:
“Which shoe are you picking up first?”
If your child reaches down and picks one up?
The cue has done its job.
You don’t need to turn the rest of putting on their shoes into a game.
You don’t need another clever question.
You don’t need to entertain them through the whole morning.
You:
Hand It Over.
Let them continue.
Stay available if they need help.
That’s the idea behind the whole Start Cue Method.
The Master Guide teaches parents to Spot → Shrink → Cue → Hand It Over, and when a cue falls flat, to Drop → Check → Respond rather than piling on more playful prompts.
“Which shoe are you picking up first?”
Once they make the first move, stop the playful cue and let them continue.
The old way vs. the new way
The Old Way: The Reminder Loop
The first instruction doesn’t lead to movement.
So you repeat it.
Still nothing.
You remind again.
Now your voice has more urgency in it.
Your child starts hearing:
“Come on.”
“I’ve already told you.”
“We’re going to be late.”
You’re not doing anything unreasonable.
You’re trying to get everyone out of the house.
But here’s the problem:
If your child already heard and understood the original instruction, repeating:
“Put your shoes on”
gives them the same whole-task starting point again.
The task may be familiar.
But the first move still hasn’t happened.
And the more rushed the morning becomes, the easier it is for both of you to get pulled into the same loop.
The New Way: Give Them a Smaller Starting Point
Imagine instead that you notice:
They can start — but haven’t.
So you pause.
You find the first action:
Pick up one shoe.
Then you give them a quick way into it:
“Which shoe are you picking up first?”
Maybe they pick one up.
Great.
Hand It Over.
Maybe they don’t respond.
You don’t keep performing until something works.
You use:
DROP → CHECK → RESPOND
You let the playful cue go.
You check whether something else is getting in the way.
And you respond to the morning in front of you.
That could sound as simple as:
“It’s time for shoes. I’m here if you need help getting started.”
No magic phrase.
No guarantee.
No turning the entire morning into play.
Just another practical response available at the exact moment you normally find yourself repeating the same instruction.
Everything you need to put the Start Cue Method into practice
You’re not buying one PDF and being left to work the rest out yourself.
Here’s what’s included.
The Complete Start Cue Master Guide
Estimated Standalone Value: $37
Your complete written guide to the method, including the Quick Start and all four pillars.
You’ll learn how to:
Spot when you’re actually looking at a starting stall.
Shrink a broad instruction into the first physical action possible right now.
Cue the first move using simple patterns such as Choice, Find, Play the Part, and optional Tiny Challenge.
Hand It Over once your child starts moving.
And when a cue doesn’t land:
Drop → Check → Respond.
The Master Guide also makes an important distinction between a genuine stall and situations where your child hasn’t heard, something is missing, they need practical help, or something else is going on.
Why it matters:
You’re not memorising a bag of parenting tricks. You’re learning a simple process you can adapt to what is actually happening in front of you.
4 Quick-Use Pillar Guides
Estimated Standalone Value: $27
You probably don’t want to open a 50-page guide while everyone is trying to leave the house.
So each pillar comes with a shorter quick-use resource.
Pillar 1: The Start Shrinker
Turn a broad task into the smallest physical action your child can take right now.
The guide walks through examples such as getting dressed, brushing teeth, shoes, school bags and coats.
Pillar 2: Parent Start Cue Deck
Quick formulas and examples for:
Choice
Find
Play the Part
Tiny Challenge — optional
Plus reminders to keep the cue connected to the real action and Hand It Over once your child starts moving.
Pillar 3: My Go-To 3
Save the actual Start Cue phrases that tend to be useful in your mornings.
You don’t even need three.
One useful cue is enough to begin.
Pillar 4: Start Cue Quick Reference
The entire method condensed into an easy reference:
SPOT → SHRINK → CUE → HAND IT OVER
and:
DROP → CHECK → RESPOND
for those moments when a cue falls flat.
Why they matter:
They help you use the method without having to remember everything you learned.
Use them digitally or print the ones you want to keep nearby.

Made for the morning you actually have.
I’ve spent 20 years working with active young children — and I’m a mum of active children too.
I know what it’s like to work with children who have plenty of energy, plenty of ideas, and sometimes a very different relationship with the word “now” than the adult standing beside them.
Across 20 years in early years education, I’ve seen children respond very differently to how a task is presented.
Sometimes a familiar instruction is enough.
Other times, making the starting point smaller, more concrete or a little more playful can give a child an easier way into the action.
And as a mum, I also know that something can sound wonderful in theory and be completely useless at 7:30 in the morning if it requires:
ten minutes of preparation,
a beautifully laminated chart,
a complicated reward system,
or enough energy to perform a one-woman children’s show before breakfast.
That’s why I wanted this method to stay small.
A cue should take seconds.
It should lead into the real task.
And when your child starts?
You stop.
This isn’t based on the idea that one clever phrase will work for every child.
My teaching experience also isn’t proof that this particular kit will produce the same result for every family.
Instead, I’m giving you a practical framework to experiment with — so you can discover what does and doesn’t help your child in your mornings.
What parents are saying
I used to repeat “put your shoes on” over and over every morning. Changing it to a simple first-step cue like “Which shoe are you picking up first?” gets him moving so much faster, and I’m nagging far less.
Mia would drift between every part of the morning routine and I was constantly repeating myself. The Start Cues gave me a much better way to get her into the first action, and our mornings now feel far calmer and more organised.
Getting dressed was our biggest battle because Noah would just sit beside his clothes and not start. Breaking it down to the very first move has made a huge difference — he gets going quicker and needs much less help from me.
Sophie responds brilliantly to the Choice Cues. Something as simple as “Coat or bag first?” gets her moving without the usual back-and-forth, and I feel like I’m managing the morning instead of chasing her through it.
Ethan gets distracted incredibly easily, so instructions used to disappear almost instantly. Find Cues have been a game changer because they give him something specific to focus on and he starts the task much faster.
“I already asked you” was probably my most-used sentence every morning. Now I know how to get Ava over that first hurdle without repeating myself five times, and it has completely changed the mood of our mornings.

Tomorrow morning is coming anyway.
There’s no fake countdown here.
The kit isn’t disappearing at midnight.
But there is a very ordinary kind of urgency.
Tomorrow morning…
the shoes will still need to go on.
The teeth will still need brushing.
The clothes will still need getting on.
The school bag will still need sorting.
And if the same familiar stall happens, you’ll probably reach for whatever you already know.
Maybe that means:
“Shoes, please.”
Then:
“Come on.”
Then:
“I already asked you.”
There’s nothing shameful about that.
But if that loop is something you’d like another response to…
you could have one ready for tomorrow morning.
Not ten new parenting rules.
Not a new reward system.
Just one small thing to try.
“Which shoe are you picking up first?”
That’s enough for day one.
Open it tonight.
Try one cue tomorrow morning.
Questions you may be wondering about
What if my child completely ignores the Start Cue?
That’s covered inside the kit.
A cue getting ignored doesn’t mean you have to make it bigger, funnier, or more exciting.
You’ll learn:
DROP → CHECK → RESPOND
Let the cue go, check what’s actually happening, then respond to the situation in front of you.
Sometimes the most useful information is simply:
That cue didn’t help this time.
Do I have to turn every morning task into a game?
No.
In fact, I specifically teach you not to.
If you say:
“It’s time to put your shoes on”
and your child picks up a shoe?
Do nothing else.
They’ve started.
A Start Cue is there for the stall — not as a required part of every morning task.
What if my child doesn’t like competitions?
Tiny Challenge is completely optional.
Some children enjoy a very light challenge.
Others get caught up in who won, whether it was fair, or the rules.
If challenges add friction, don’t use them.
You still have Choice, Find and Play the Part.
Is this only for children with ADHD or another diagnosis?
No.
The kit is built around a specific everyday behaviour rather than a diagnosis:
A child knows a familiar task, can begin it, but hasn’t made the first move.
It is not medical treatment, diagnosis, or a replacement for professional support where that is needed.
What age is it designed for?
The examples and playful approach were created primarily for parents of 5–8-year-olds.
That’s the age range I’ve deliberately kept the first version focused on.
Do I need a printer?
No.
Your first Start Cue requires nothing to print.
The Master Guide and Pillar Guides can be used digitally.
If you want to print a reference sheet or keep one somewhere handy, you can — but it isn’t required.
Do I have to finish the entire course before I try it?
No.
That would defeat the point.
Start with the Quick Start.
Choose one familiar sticking point tonight.
Try one Choice Cue tomorrow morning.
Then work through the rest when you’re ready.
How long do I get access?
Lifetime.
There’s no need to rush through everything during the first week.
Is this supposed to make my child completely independent in the morning?
No.
That isn’t the promise.
The goal is much narrower:
To give you another practical way to help your child make the first move on familiar morning tasks, with the aim of needing fewer repeated reminders around those starts over time.
What if my child needs help rather than a cue?
Help them.
The kit explicitly teaches parents to distinguish between:
a genuine stall,
an obstacle,
an unheard instruction,
a practical difficulty,
and a child who needs something else.
Start Cues are only one tool.
What’s the refund policy?
You have 30 days to explore the kit and decide whether the approach is useful for your family.
One small first move.
You don’t need to decide today that you’re going to transform your entire morning.
You don’t need to believe one sentence will suddenly change your child.
And you don’t need to become the parent who has a creative game ready for every possible situation.
That isn’t what this is.
Your first step could simply be:
Tonight, open the kit.
Choose shoes.
Tomorrow morning, give your ordinary instruction.
If your child starts?
Let them start.
If they can start but haven’t?
Try:
“Which shoe are you picking up first?”
Maybe they reach for one.
If they do:
Hand It Over.
Maybe they don’t.
If they don’t:
Drop. Check. Respond.
Either way, you’ve tried something different.
And you’ve begun learning what helps your child get into that first move.
