[quote=Anonymous]15:44 here. I would mentor a nanny. Y explaining how out of control they can get when you don't take the lead. I'd have her try 1-2-3 magic. Tell the kid you're going to count to 3 and if their shoes aren't on they go in time out or a toy goes in time out, whichever is more effective for the kid/situation. Or it might be no treat or screen time. When we're actively trying to get out the door and they're dawdling, I basically just annoy them into putting shoes on. I tell them to get shoes and coat so we can go do X. I'll tell them that a couple times. Then I'll tell them to focus. Focus on shoes. Then just say shoes .... shoes .... shoes on feet. Just keep reminding them until they want you to shut up. Or you can pretend to leave without them. Oh you're not ready, well that's too bad. Andy and I are ready to go do we're going. We're done waiting. See you when we get back. I've never had that fail me. When they decide to come make a big deal and say how glad you are that they're coming with you because it will be more fun now. Sometimes it takes a while to really settle into the job and find what works for a kid. [/quote]
