[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] NP. My son is in second grade. I do this before school. It's a great natural consequence because he HATES being late. The thought of being late for school motivates him. Just as the thought of being late for practice will probably now motivate OP's son. I give my son a couple of reminders in the morning regarding what time it is, and what he needs to do, but otherwise, if I'm ready, and it's time to go, I wait by the door. I'm quite surprised about the reluctance of posters to teach their kids self reliance. You'll be pushing and nagging and reminding your kids to get out the door until they graduate high school.
