[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 118879"] I should add that this doesn't mean she hopped right out of bed and got dressed. She still needed prodding and reminding. Instead of standing over her, though, I'd call out from wherever I was...are your socks on? is your shirt on? are your shoes on? One step at a time. Standing over her just led to frustration on her part, as well as mine. But, knowing that first she got dressed, then she ate helped her to get moving. For a lot of our kids, saying 'go get dressed' is just too many steps. So, I found asking about each individual item (i asked about them in the order she put them on) worked best. I hate using the term 'staying on task' because I have found it to be so overused in our school district. But, that's essentially what I was doing...helping her stay on task. [/QUOTE]
