[quote=Anonymous]What I do with my charges is wake them up, then sit and read one short poem from a book we are working through (just normal adult poetry anthology).  It gives them a minute where they don't have to do anything but lay there, but there is a finite end: end of poem=get up.

I usually get them out of bed by picking them up and giving them a big hug, then set them on their feet and pull their shirt over their head and their pants down, then they step out of their clothes and I hand them the pjs and walk them to the bathroom to put clothes in the hamper and pee.  By this point it's been 5 minutes or less and both kids are awake, out of bed, undressed and either sitting on the toilet or sitting waiting for a turn.  While they go to the bathroom I grab their clothes and lay them out on the floor right side up.  They dressed and brush hair and teeth and 20 minutes after waking up we walk downstairs for breakfast.  They are pretty motivated for their part in all this because we have a built in time to read a story before leaving (a chapter book that we read one chapter of) and if they are too slow they lose that reading time.[/quote]
