I've just been reading through my old threads on here and this has cropped up on numerous occasions since starting school ........ and things haven't changed!
She always leaves things until the last minute or gets distracted when she's on the way to do something such as brush teeth, pack bag etc. Unless I stand by her reminding her what is next ... she's 10 though, not 5! Do I just have to accept that this is her personality, and she will probably be similar as an adult, or can I help her to change?
I'm concerned that in just over a year she will need to leave the house an hour earlier (7.30) with a lot more homework, pe kit etc than at present. I just can't se her doing it!!
I've recently agreed that she can scooter to school with her twin sister, without me, which she was thrilled to bits about, but she's done it about once in the last two weeks as her sister has been reading to go and DT2 has been fannying about, so I've left DT1 go in the hope it will spur DT2 into action the following morning! No chance, she admits she's disappointed that I drive her as we're running late, and she'd prefer to scooter but she still doesn't move herself.
