Aubrey author helps kids set routines

Local Aubrey author, Darnell Lewis, is instilling simple morning routines for kids that stick.

As a parent of two himself, he draws on his own experience in his book “Brush, Wash, Dress: Morning SUCCESS!” and aims to help children and parents with their morning routines in an entertaining, rhythmic way.

“I had struggled with both of my boys,” Lewis said. “My first son was very, very hard. He just didn't want to get up in the morning, and I'm going, ‘come on, we got to get going. I have to drive far, all of that.’ So, it was a struggle to get him up. So, in certain cases, I had to do some similar steps within the book. I had to make it fun.”
