I love these posts
All about what not to do
What do you do to convince a recalcitrant child to
Go to school
Bed
Get dressed
Etc..
Please don’t respond with what not to do.
I get that
I want clear instructions.
You wake your child at 730 for an 830 bus.
At eight child is still sleeping.
All your sweetly asking your child to wake up has so far produced is pleasant dreams in the child.
Child needs to go to school and you need to make the 846 train for work two blocks away.
Describe how you make this work with
No screaming
No hitting
No coercion
No punishment
Please give specific instructions. Not generalities.
Not
Well I for sure wouldn’t hit
Not
well if you scream they will be…
Clear direction to make the morning work.
Feel free to back it up to start with wake-up but provide clear check list of how to accomplish it
remember your dealing with a child who wants to stay in bed and if they respond to you, is saying no. Or just a few more min.
