[quote=Anonymous]It’s all about prepping the night before. If you have kids that resist getting up, then set an alarm for them earlier, so they have more time in the morning. I couldn’t deal with getting up and running out the door in thirty minutes every day. I need would be majorly cranky. They need more AM time. Send them to bed earlier so they can wake up earlier.

Have predetermined consequences for failure to comply with directions in the morning, once you have clearly spelled out what needs to be done. Have a family meeting, write down the steps, and post in each kid’s room. Stay near their rooms if they are young to prompt them. You get ready before they get up.

I’m a teacher, and the kids that roll in with a granola bar in hand are not well-fed enough to focus on school all morning, especially if we have a late lunch. Then they bring a bag of chips for morning snack, or eat their whole packed lunch for snack, and are starving in afternoon classes.

I would absolutely have a star chart for morning success and reward with a weekend treat for compliance. You must praise and reinforce the behavior you want to see, after clearly explaining it and having consequences for noncompliance.[/quote]
