[quote=Anonymous]The no-TV answer is you start getting up earlier and get the day started. Early morning playground time in the summer is good because it’s not too brutally hot yet. The less-TV answer is the popsicle stick method. Write on a popsicle stick the things they need to do before the TV can go on. As they complete each task, the popsicle stick goes into the “done” cup. When the cup has all five sticks, the TV can go on for a set period of time. Common ones are breakfast, teeth brushed , make bed, worksheet, dressed for the day, sunscreen. It should take at least 45 minutes for them to complete.[/quote]
