Although Nate loves school, he doesn't like getting ready in the mornings. Each day was the same thing: me reminding him several times to get dressed, then to eat, then to put on his shoes, then to brush his teeth, etc. Each time, he'd whine. This is obviously an attitude-obedience-discipline issue, BUT I also needed to figure out something that worked better. WHY did it take me so long to think of writing up a schedule for him? When I printed this out and posted it (in his bedroom and also in the kitchen), he loved it.
He likes to know when things need to be done, and of course he loves that it's the same each day. Now, it's amazing. I usually have to remind him about the first step or two, but then by brushing-teeth time, he usually does it on his own before I even say a thing. It's a miracle!
