[QUOTE="idohope, post: 309762, member: 7722"] Fighting that very same battle this morning (and the day before...). I don't have the answers yet. Physically forcing her to go (eg dragging her to bus crying or to the car) is not an option. She is too big and strong and it is emotionally draining for us and her and physically dangerous at this point (someone will accidently get hurt). Our plan this year, developed in concert with us and her therapist, is to really try to take the pressure off of her and stay calm and dont push in the morning. We will be setting up an appointment with her school so that the school can impose consequences if they are concerned about the number of times she is late (eg miss recess to make up work etc). Typical things dont seem to work. We can try to lay out an outfit the night before but that can result in either a battle the night before or no guarentee that that outfit will be acceptable in the morning. Our work schedule is taking a hit here and it is very very difficult and stressful. We still need to address the underlying anxiety and that has not happened yet. But we are working towards it and trying to get thru every day and get her to school each day at this point. [/QUOTE]
