[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks, and I can 'force' him, although its not easy. His go-to shoes are velcro and the coat is by the door. He just refuses, runs to play with a toy, stands there and looks at me, etc. Its intentional and it not only feels so rude but it makes me angry and it definitely makes us late. My reaction needs work for sure but I feel like we are doing what we are supposed to, my son included, until its time to go and then there's the refusal to move and to do anything to get out of the door. He likes school and most of the places that we go, so thats not the issue.....ugh.[/quote] I think you have unintentionally make this into a game with him. He thinks it is fun that he can get a rise from you. You need to cool it. For the next week or so, get up 10 minutes earlier to prepare for this so that you won't be angry about being late. And just not make it a big deal for a while. He may lose interests in this particular form of rebellion. [/quote]
