Hello,

Any ideas on how to get my 4 yr old DS to move in the mornings? He takes FOREVER to get undressed out of pj's and into his clothes......I know he can get dressed quickly b/c he does do it somedays but others I constantly have to check in every minute to make sure he is not playing with toys/reading a book/laying back in bed etc. I think he is tired, so I may have to adjust his bed time....any suggestions?

Thanks!

I set a timer for my 4 yr old, she knows she must be dressed before the timer goes off or she will lose something like TV time or a toy.

How long do you give your 4yr old? I want to make it "do-able" but not give too much time.

Thanks! Great idea

i also have had to set the timer in the past i used to give my ds 10 min total that meant using the bathroom and getting clothes socks and shoes on.(the clothes were picked the night before) or there was no tv i always had enough time that there was 1/2hr of tv before we had to leave... i also made sure that they went to bed early enough that they were able to get up and have enough time. we also have used games like who can beat mom getting ready ect.
