Ive been dong the school run for few years...and it as never got any easier. The mornings always end up shouting and nagging at darling child to "GET DRESSED" "BRUSH YOUR TEETH" Aaargghh!! Ive tried everything, he has first shower so he has more time, then I changed it to a little later so he almosts has to rush, ive took phones etc away and gets them back once ready., Ive let him watch tv after he's dressed, Nothing works, Im still moaning at him to get his socks and shoes on literally as we should be leaving. I don't know what else to ,do, its a constant battle. DS is 11 by the way, and started high school this year so really should know better. Any advice would be fab, I dont want the morning arguments any more. Thanks

I feel a bit sorry for these kids- I was just the same at the same age and used to be late for school and have detentions

I like the Alexa idea....

I think I'd also be tempted to video him. I want to know what he is doing in this time....and then I'd be sitting down to watch the video with him and asking him why hes doing what ever he is doing instead of getting dressed.
