My 6yo dd takes forever to do really simple things (that she can do really easily), anything from getting dressed in the morning, eating breakfast through to putting her coat on to go out the door. I know its a problem at school also in that she pretty much never finishes her work, again even when it is things that she can do easily. So for example she will start doing something (eg putting her trousers on) then just sit there staring into space thinking for maybe 20 minutes or so. Its frustrating for all of us, and leads to lots of arguments when she misses out on doing things that she wants to do because she has taken so long to get dressed, eat breakfast or whatever it is. Anyone elses dcs like this? Any ideas to improve things??? Help!
