Put on uniform
A uniform leaves no room for the small swaps that usually save the morning: looser trousers, a softer collar, no button at the throat. The visuals below break the outfit into clear steps so the whole load does not land at once.

About this visual support
The trouble with a uniform is rarely the garments themselves. It is that the uniform removes choice. On an ordinary day a scratchy top can be swapped for something softer, but today this exact collar, this exact fabric, this exact cut needs to stay on the body for hours. On a fragile day that is a lot to manage.
A visual support pulls it apart into pieces: shirt, trousers, tie or badge, shoes, jacket if needed. When each item has its own card it becomes possible to take them one at a time, with a small breath between, instead of meeting the whole uniform as a wall.
A concrete tip: wash the uniform often so the starch lets go and the fabric softens, and let the child wear the shirt unbuttoned at the top until just before you leave. If you add the steps to the Routined app, you can drop a short pause between shirt and tie so the hardest transition has some air around it.
