[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 388015, member: 1991"] Morning routine - have you tried writing up the list of steps he has to do, on a blackboard? If he can tick off each thing (get dressed, put on shoes, pack bag, eat breakfast, feed dog) it might help him feel more in control. A lot of the tantrums can be about control. Also abut task-changing. The list helps without you feeling like you need to nag. If you have next to each step, the time it should be done by, it also makes it easier for him to stay on task. Then you can bring in a reward for getting ready within the time limit. For example, he earns a mini-chocolate bar in his lunch box if he is ready for the bus more than five minutes before it is due. Define "ready" carefully. Consistency is important. Also, giving the kids control, especially where it really makes no difference to you, is also very important for a lot of difficult children.
