[quote=Anonymous]I've used a clock with hands for kids before - I put stickers on the clock - when the hand gets to 7:00, you need to be dressed, when it gets to 7:05, teeth, hair etc. needs to be done. Together we are racing against the clock - becomes more of a game.... With time for something fun - maybe a hot chocolate on he way to school if we can pull it off?

It helps if I am super organized before trying to involve the kids in getting ready. I'd make sure you have everything possible done before you wake him, so you just need to help him get dressed, then teeth, hair, face and you can walk out the door.

Another option would be to change the routine - I prefer to do breakfast first. It sounds like he is having a hard time waking up and getting moving. What if you just woke him and told him he needed to be down at the table in 2 minutes, then go up and remind him, 2 minutes are up, time to come down. He may have an easier time getting going after eating and waking up at the table a bit.

Good luck![/quote]
