[quote=Anonymous]My DD is 10 and has ADHD and mornings are very challenging in the way you describe. She's otherwise a lovely kid but mornings are NOT her thing. We have learned we need to give her more time in the morning to account for the dawdling. And she needs to be well-rested -- mornings are a nightmare when she's tired. Nothing completely fixes the issue and makes her a different kid but having a list of the steps she needs to take upstairs before she comes down and a list of the times she needs to do it (e.g., 7:30 brush teeth, 7:35 get dressed) has helped. She also knows she gets to read once she is done and is sitting and eating her breakfast, and that seems to motivate her. Perhaps let her know she can sit and pet the dog once she's done? But you may just have to accept you need to be more involved than you'd prefer at this particular stage. [/quote]
