[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you might try asking her if she has ideas on how to make getting out of the house at about the same time work, since it has become a problem. can there be an alarm she sets on her phone that is a 30 minute reminder, or do they need to change some activities in the schedule?

Present it as a problem to solve together. Ask nicely. Agree to check back in after 2 or 3 days. Elicit her help, and involve her in assessing if it works or if she needs to try another tactic.[/quote]

NP here and this is brilliant advice. I try to remember to do that as a supervisor at work and as an employer for our nanny. People appreciate solving a problem and there may be something going on you aren’t aware of. We only set up a schedule when the youngest was a newborn/transitions and when the older kid stayed home after daycare closed. Then we did a rough schedule that has since been adopted. I stay out of it now. It can be really challenging to get a preschooler out the door some days. They miss friends.[/quote]
