[QUOTE="nlg319, post: 40464, member: 3637"] Your difficult child sounds just like my son. The mornings were awful! I completely agree with Marguerite about the checklist. I did the same thing...I printed copies of the list, since it was the same every day. I suggest keeping it simple. My difficult child#2's went like this: Shower Get dressed medications Breakfast Pack backpack Shoes This worked for us. We used a list like this for almost 3 years. He is 12 yrs. old now and does the morning routine on his own. The only problem he has is getting out of bed. He has become more social at school this year, so that seems to motivate him. Good Luck! Believe me I can relate to all the feelings you have shared! [/QUOTE]
