[quote=Anonymous]You're not ruining your kids. You may be over scheduled and/or have poor time management skills. Plan with them and have them help with tasks that need to get done the next day, eg picking out next day's school clothes, making lunch, having backpacks ready by the door. Check yourself, which it sounds like you're doing. Do you use phrases like, "hurry up" a lot. For kids that doesn't mean much. Putting a sticky on the clock of it's this time now and we need to leave by x time may help them and you visualize passage of time better. 10 minute, 5 minute, 2 minute warnings might limit filler phrases from you and actually help kids learn time management skills. Pace yourself.[/quote]
