[quote=Anonymous]Ok this isn't what you want to hear, but the thing that helped our morning routine was....turning 4. 3 year olds are hard! They are smart enough to know that this routine is the thing that leads up to what they don't want: parent separation. But they are NOT smart enough to realize that it will be done either way, but one way can be calm and one can be stressful. The only thing that helped my youngest was that the pandemic hit while he was 3 and we stopped leaving the house. So who cares what you're wearing! Nothing else worked. Choosing for him, sleeping in his clothes, laying them out the night before, forcing him, being as patient as possible, allowing him an hour to get dressed, bribing, routines, etc. NONE WORKED. We just had to push through and it sucked and there was lots of crying from him (and sometimes from me). [/quote]
