[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 316840, member: 1233"] Rather than get upset and try to hurry him, let him get ready and tell you when you need to leave. If it is immediate, make SURE you take time to put whatever you are doing away before you leave. His grade, his concert, his his his his his. NOT yours. HIS. If you get all upset and stressed over this it iwll take responsibility off of his shoulders. So you must pretend to not be in a hurry. Don't jump when he says jump. Or hurry to the car when he says he is late. If you jump right up and hurry out, it will tell him that he can push it to the limits because you will ALWAYS stop mid-whatever to take him to an activity he forgot about. Let natural consequences rule the day. ONE of them should be that MOM doesn't have to shove her stuff aside just because difficult child is running late. [/QUOTE]
