[quote=Anonymous]Three things that work for us: 1) no negotiations. There’s an easy way and a hard way. That’s it. 2) try to build in flex time. “If we’re ready in time, we can have an episode of Bluey” is a bribe I’m fine with and it’s a good cushion for if something comes up (like an extra poop or a hangnail or a spill or whatever). If they miss the reward and are upset it’s just “we can try again tomorrow.” 3) if toddler is freaking out about something weird, I usually ask if they’re feeling nervous about school and the answer is usually yes. I think that’s the root of most morning rush problems. I provide a lot of comfort and reassurance about that within the bounds of rule 1[/quote]
