[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]School start times are too early for this age group, which really needs more sleep in the morning. It sucks, but there is a lot of good advice on this thread including how to implement an earlier bedtime and how OP needs to fully wake up DD before leaving for work.[/quote]

I agree more sleep is needed. It would be perfect world if school starts at 9 am.  Getting to bed "early" is impossible.  After school activities and school work sometimes leave DS up very late. [/quote]

It's not "impossible"-it's just not easy.  But agree with those who said that the DD has lost the privilege of getting up at her own pace, and that you can look into moving her bedtime back earlier since she's struggling.  Not getting to school on time is not acceptable.  All clothes should be laid out ready to be worn the night before and bags should be packed, and you should check all of this is done before any post-dinner treats/screen time is allowed. We have had that rule in our household since our kids were in elementary school, as it saves so much time in the morning.
