Taking to TikTok, Ms Rachel shared how she makes her son sleep in his clothes for school and in the morning he just needs to put on sneakers.
"We put on a nice new shirt, sweatpants - super comfy and great for jammies - and then when he wakes up we just thrown on sneakers," said Rachel on the video.
However, she added that this practice won't last forever. She hopes to someday teach her son to dress himself for school in the morning.
"Someday I'll teach him to wake up for school and get dressed and that will be a very good thing to teach, but I can't do that right now," she said.
The mother concluded her post by adding that she is doing her best.
"And that's OK I'm doing my best and so are you and I love you."
One of the people in the comments section said a nice bath in the morning would wake him up. Rachel responded that she prefers to bath him at night.
"He bathes at night, he doesn't get sweaty at night. If he did, we'd grab new clothes," she said.
