Get up earlier in the morning so that you know you have more time.
Take away choices if your child argues. If you try the, you can pick this one or that one and you are still getting lots of arguments, your child is too overwhelmed to make a choice so step in and make one for her. Many parents believe that providing more choices in this situation will make it better to only find out it makes it worse. There are some things with no choice or argument. Safety is one. She either buckles the seat belt herself or you do it for her. And be ok with doing it for her. Don't argue, don't get mad, just do it and them get in the car yourself and get going. |

| Thank you for your husband's service and your sacrifice. I can remember many a morning with my 6yr. old who did the same thing. There were many battles over clothes and going to school. I finally decided to take some time the night before and let her choose her clothes for the morning. It did help some. Be firm and loving all the time. She did outgrow the stage and did just fine. Hang in there.You are doing just fine! |
