[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks everyone. I'll try the chart idea, as well as incentives. Q: for those of you who have your kids get dressed before breakfast, how do you avoid getting outfits ruined? I feel like the cereal milk, yogurt drink, ketchup for the eggs, syrup, jam, etc., always gets spilled or on them. Having them eat in PJs has been my solution.[/quote] I agree with your way. We eat, then get dressed and brush teeth. Why would one brush their teeth before breakfast? The chart and no screen time and also letting them fail some (to realize they may end up at school halfway in pjs if they aren't on the ball) are good ideas. Right now, they rely on you to make them do everything because they can. Shift more responsibility to them with natural and/or inflected consequences for non-compliance. [/quote]
