[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you do the same thing if he is dawdling before school? Just let him be late? The coach is a volunteer and it is disruptive and disrespectful to have kids floating in and out of practice. [/quote] OP here. It’s school. Not a sports practice. They’re not equivalent. I haven’t had to do this for school. there are more systems in place (checklist, more reminders from me, doesn’t get breakfast until dressed and so on). Then a loss of privilege, like no soccer or no playdate. I micro-manage getting out the door for school more. Plus if I did this for school his siblings would also be late which isn’t right. I don’t want to engage in that level of support for making an extracurricular activity. It’s not fair to me. He’s old enough and more than capable enough to do it (kid is not delayed, has no executive functions or attention issues of any kind). [/quote]
