[quote=Anonymous]DH has the kids on like some kind of military precision in the morning. They (9, 7 and 4) all wake up early on their own, but get themselves completely dressed and fed before they're allowed TV. At 7:25 all 3 are standing there with shoes, coats, backpacks at the door ready to go. It blows my mind when I have to do morning drop off and I see it first hand. I think they just think there will be immediate consequences if they aren't ready (he doesn't spank or anything, so I'm not sure what they think will happen. ha). My oldest does have inattentive ADHD, so I think this is teaching her executive functioning. The older two help the 4 year old get cereal or open her yogurt, but he 4 year old does get breakfast at preschool. DH has automated Alexa alarms going off telling the kids which stage they should be at. "It's 7:25, gather everything and stand by the front door for loading." lol[/quote]
