[quote=Anonymous]There are some good suggestions here. We did the break it down into steps and at one point I also put suggested times. So if bedtime is at 8:30, teeth brushed by 8:35. pjs on by 8:40. Reading books until 8:55. That sort of thing so that the time doesn’t just sort of flow away. I do it myself when I am getting ready for work — 5 min for makeup, 10 min for clothes, 10 minutes for hair, etc. Another thing that works is to say “Rememver it is your turn to unload dishwasher. What time do you want to do it? Okay, I will set na alarm for that time to remind us.” If you give them choice and time to mentally prepare (even for little tasks), it results in much less yelling.
