[quote=Anonymous]So many trolls and no organized analysis of the problem. 1. Is she tired or just lazy? 2. Is she tired at night at bedtime? 3. Does she have any screen time in the blue before bed time? 4. Is she willing to get up and go to school if you "drag" her, or does she fight it? 5. What is the routine on weekends? 6. Has she moved every possible task, including getting dressed and prepping breakfast, from morning of to night before? She needs to get to a state where getting up is more rewarding than staying down. Carrot and stick. Reward and punishment. Fighting with ain't it. Fighting is never it. You can force a kid to do some things, but that has an expiration date. If she is resisting school by not getting up, then you have to work on persuading consent. There are lots of ways to force her, but those tend to lead to rebellion criminal justice and other severe consequences for youth who simply refuse to go along and get along in their family and society.
