[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After 6 brushes his teeth at night, put his toothbrush downstairs in/near the kitchen so immediately after eating he can brush.  Can he sleep in his clothes he'll wear the next day?[/quote]

All of this. And breakfast could be a protein bar eaten walking or a cheese stick, fruit can be messy, I’d save for a different meal.

I’d have both older kids sleep in clothes for next day. See if nanny can come at 7:30 and take over bus run.

A chart with pics of streamlined morning activities and a reward if completed early helped my child with ADD get out the door. Say a game on iPad if done by 7:20, high value and immediate reward.[/quote]

Why do people keep suggesting kids were clothes to bed? That won’t work for a lot of kids who sweat at night.

Nannies are expensive- adding 1/2 hr to their day would require paying time and a half or double time. A lot of people can’t afford to add that on. And a lot of nannies don’t want to come earlier.

Most kids aren’t sweaty at night. Do you give them another bath in the morning to get all the sweat off? If not, just changing their clothes will only do so much. Mine bathe at night and don’t sweat. They can rewear pjs three nights. [/quote]
