[quote=Anonymous]Every single school morning feels like Groundhog Day with my 9yo DD. I have to remind her of everything: get dressed, brush teeth, eat breakfast, pack backpack. She just stares into space or gets distracted petting the dog while I turn into a broken record. We’ve tried it all: charts, timers, routines, positive reinforcement, natural consequences. None of it sticks for more than a week. By the time we finally get out the door, I’m exhausted and pissed and she’s cranky. Please tell me this is a phase and share what’s actually helped your kids become a little more self-starting in the mornings. I’m tired of starting every day in a battle.[/quote]
