[quote=Anonymous]Talk to her to try to come up with a plan for what is not working and what you can do to help her.  For example, my older child with inattentive adhd gets very easily pulled off task by drifting into a book when she is alone in her room, the bathroom, etc.  She even drifts off in thought while she eats breakfast (I will walk in and literally see her frozen in mid-chew staring out the window). So we talked and she asked for frequent reminders of the time - I now give her reminders every 5 min.  Is this ideal for me? No. But I can't have her miss the bus or else I will be late to work.

If your dd is not cooperative in trying to come up with a solution, then I agree with taking away her phone and replacing it with a pay as you go flip phone until she earns back her regular phone.  As a pp said, you have to think of what "currency" is important to your dd and tie her being responsible and timely in the mornings to earning the right to that privilege.

Last resort, get her school counselor involved - if she is frequently late then the school should care!

I don't understand how she has an A in first period if she is always missing it, btw.[/quote]
