[quote=Anonymous]At that age, I let my kids have a couple of minutes of ipad time in the AM if they were completely dressed and ready to go, and done with their morning routine. So for example, if we needed to leave at 7:30, they could have ipad time on the couch at 7:20 if they were 100% ready to walk out the door. Alternatively, you could let them have some sort of treat/privilege in the car if they are ready on time- chocolate milk, a favorite non messy breakfast item, watch favorite show during the ride to school, etc. Whatever will make them be excited to get in the car. My kids did better at that age with immediate rewards like above as opposed to things like sticker charts or promising something for later that day etc. Bedtime is so hard. I really struggled with mine at those ages too. No advice. [/quote]
