[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 2 kids in middle school. One gets up an hour early, walks the dog, packs lunches, gets everything ready and could leave very early. The other one stumbles out of bed late and we all beg and cajole her to get ready by the last minute before they would be late for school. We've tried alarms, we make her go to bed early, take away devices early, nothing has worked. The worst part is we all start the day angry, today we were all yelling at her again as she grabbed a banana for breakfast and ran out crying. I'm at my wit's end, what else has anyone done in this situation that has worked?[/quote]
Obviously the screaming at her is not helping if she’s still running late and running out the door crying. Are you driving them (and do you WFH), are they walking, or are they catching the bus? If you aren’t driving them, your kid is old enough to learn for themselves to be ready on time or deal with the consequences. If she misses the bus and you have to take her, all electronics are taken for a week. How to handle it if you’re driving them depends on your work situation.[/quote]
