[quote=Anonymous]Hi there! My otherwise delightful little boy is SO SLOW when it’s time to get ready for school or bed. Every day it’s the same, and seems to be getting worse. He just ignores us and always dreams up something he “just has to do”- a picture to draw, a little game to play, or a story he just has to tell us before he could possibly even begin thinking about getting his shoes on. Tips? We have tried cajoling, demanding, 1-2-3 magic with threats of no stories (this is, lately, the only thing that compels progress at bedtime). We have consistent routines and he knows how to follow them, it just seems like he doesn’t respect my/ DJ/ grandparental authority in these instances. He’s a total delight at school according to his teachers, and to us most of the time. But we’re so exhausted by the lengthy bedtimes and always running late for school! [/quote]
