[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Off to a rough start, it’s only October. Both parents are at work before DD bus arrives. She’s been missing the bus occasionally because she snoozes her morning alarm. I wake her before I leave and also DH will on his way out if she’s not up and showering/actively getting ready.

She likes to go back to sleep but continues to snooze alarms while  also needing an hour to get ready. She does not shower the evening before but does everything the morning - hair, skincare, clothes ironing, everything. We’ve tried having her preset the shower the night before, but she sweats in her sleep. We have the conversation about planning outfits for the week while she’s laundering on Sundays. What other methods work in your home?

How does she get to school when she misses the bus? Does she just not go?

Natural consequences = missing out on class instruction, possible quizzes and tests, assignments, etc.

If she's up late "doing schoolwork" then she needs to re-organize her after-school time.
If she has any digital devices, including her phone being used as an alarm, those need to be absolutely banned from her bedroom. If she's on social media/has her phone on her when doing schoolwork, that needs to stop as well.

If nothing else works, then make her get up and be ready before you leave the house yourself.[/quote]
