[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, it’s no big deal. Get him a small alarm clock for his room. Talk about what a good time would set it would be to be out the door on time. Wake up before him and have breakfast ready and his lunch packed and ready to go when he comes down. I realize not all parents can or want to do that- but it makes mornings so smooth. As for afternoons, have dinner ready early as possible to manage various kids and afternoon activities. Cook in large quantities so they can leftovers for lunch the next day or to eat again for dinner (or at least components that can be used and turned quickly into another meal). Figure out what he can take to school. Our middle school doesn’t allow them to carry backpacks during the day, they must keep them in locker, but they don’t have time to go to lockers. Most kids carry one of those Case-It binders. Getting a case/sleeve for Chromebook is good idea too (if they can’t carry a backpack). [/quote]
