[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can whisper "go back to bed before I beat your @ss" and you can yell "go back to bed before I beat your @ss" and neither will matter if there is no consequence. If they get out of bed, you have to beat their butt. Now, I am not saying beat them.... it was an example but you have to give the consequence. All the morning stuff needs to be done the night before if possible or they do it before they eat. My kids backpacks are packed and around their chair before they sit down and eat at the table with that same chair. When they put their clothes on, they put their shoes on. [/quote]

The last minute stuff is putting their lunchboxes in their backpack (they're mainly made the night before but I do things like rewarm the chicken or add something that would get soggy the night before while they eat breakfast), get on their gear to walk to school (we live in chicago so outdoor shoes / coats etc), and  pick up anything they got out in their free time.

I agree on the consequence but haven't figured out one that works - very annoyingly (for this) the 7yo is pretty take it or leave it about both screen time and dessert [/quote]
