[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Good ideas. I like the idea of data tracking. I also need to be up much earlier. If they don’t do screens, everyone fusses. They are not easy kids especially in the morning. If they sit at the table and eat breakfast, without me there (I’m getting ready) they’ll fight. I let them watch tv while I’m getting ready. I think I need to get up earlier and then be able to monitor from 6:45-7:15 and move everyone along. It’s a big anxious, adhd mess. [/quote] You get dressed when they're getting dressed. Lay out your clothes the night before. No screens in the morning. Tell them now starting in the new year, no screens. No bickering in the mornings - if everyone gets along they get a sticker, five stickers at the end of the week and they get a fun dessert or to pick what's for dinner or something. [/quote]
