[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What happens if she doesn’t poop in the morning? She can poop at school. That is WAY too long for eating. Can she bring unfinished food in the car? There is Zero incentive to finish early. If my kids finish their checklists they get to play video games or watch a show on the iPad until it’s time to go. Shoes and coats on while they do it. For a long time they also got a dumdum lollipop or a Hershey kiss every time they got in the car on time. There is no music, iPad, toys, or anything remotely fun at our house until the checklist is done. We have toothbrushes and hair brushes in the 1st floor powder room. If they forget something upstairs, a parent will get it. Once they are downstairs and at the table eating, they do not go back upstairs at all. That’s how they get distracted and “lost”. [/quote] She literally eats nothing at school most days. Often doesn’t drink water. So she will go an entire school day without eating so we serve a massive breakfast to remedy that. Her weight gain is not great. She gets cereal, hot eggs/pancakes, sausage, etc. A very full meal. If we just do cereal or something sugary she will be melting down after school so it’s protein heavy. We have tried incentives and they don’t work. She then expects it no matter what. She will cry and tantrum if she doesn’t receive it, even if she’s late. If we promise iPad she expects it even if we are 10 minutes late. She then flips out and makes us more late with the 20-30 minute tantrum that follows. We have tried this at least 4-5 times and every time we end up having to sign her in late to school. At some point, we just cannot keep having her do this to us. We have jobs and we have to get to work.[/quote]
