[quote=Anonymous]Keep sticking to your schedule, give oral cues of what’s coming next and when, and introduce a “schedule chart” that lets him check off each step in order. I’m sure you’ve tried a lot of things but when DD is slow and stalling we’ve had luck with “get dressed as fast as you can” timed contests. I’ve also done positive reinforcement (if she’s done getting ready on time I bring a cookie for her to eat on the drive home from preschool) and as needed a threat of “big kids get ready when their parents tell them to, I guess you’re too small to go play with friends at school today.” That works like a charm too. As for what to wear, I put out the outfit the night before and hype her up on it (the new sweater matches your sneakers perfectly or let’s wear your blue barrettes tomorrow) and if she doesn’t want to wear it the next day I let her choose either pants or a shirt and I choose the other so they match. That’s helped a lot too. [/quote]
