[quote=Anonymous]We all make mistakes, especially in the heat of the moment when frustrated. But by the time you wrote this post, you presumably were no longer in the heat of the moment. So to write, "I had to smack him" suggests that even in retrospect you can't think of anything better to do. And you need to figure that out, because there will be a next time. My kid also moves very slowly in the morning and comes close to missing the bus. In fact, she has missed the bus twice and had to figure out public transportation. She got to school late on those days and had to live with the consequences. We have built in rewards for days that she's ready on time (she wants money for snack food at school, which she only gets on days when she leaves the house on time).[/quote]
