[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, we eat first, then get dressed, then do teeth & hair. Shoes are kept in the mud room next to the garage. Backpacks packed up the night before. No screens, but if caught with an iPad, the password changes. Usually runs like clockwork.[/quote] Not OP, but HOW? Share exactly how you got this to work like clockwork.[/quote] Just repetition - day after day of the exact same thing. The first week of school, I had to be firm with reminders like 'now you have to get up', 'eat your food' (one likes to talk), and remind them to stay on task, but things get done without yelling. Sometimes in the dark days of winter, they complain about wanting to stay in bed, but I just tell them that I'd like to be in bed too but we can't, school's your job and I have my job too. [/quote]
