[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 7 year old son, has always been sweet, caring, full of generosity and I love you's, but when he is bad, he is bad. Now that he's older thats turning into some back talk, which we are addressing, but the thing that makes me CRAZY is that he will be 90% ready for school (or anywhere), everyone is happy, and then he will refuse to put on his shoes, coat, or whatever it is that cannot really be done until the last minute. It makes us all late and ultimately all unhappy. My husband and I are late for work, my son is late for school...everything and I can't take it. I am yelling and flat out loosing my shit too, which is of course the opposite of what I'm supposed to do, but when he is just standing there, watching me, knowing that he is impacting my day and doesn't care I can't take it. Any ideas on how to help him and how to help myself not be a crazy, screaming person in these moments?

Thank you (and yes, this happened this morning, so my apologies for the emotional post!)[/quote]

What is his currency?  Currently, my children's currency is an earlier bed time.  The threat of moving bed time up a half hour is magic (they are 5 and 7).  [/quote]
