hello everyone
i have five kids, no issues with any except my 7 year old daughter. she was such an angel until she started nursery at the age of 3. until now she doesnt want to wake up for school. every morning she has to have massive tantrums, she shouts, screams, etc etc.. i have tried lots of different techniques but nothing seem to work. she doesnt want to wake up , she doesnt want to brush, doesnt want to get dressed... nothing. to avoid trouble in the morning i carry her to the bathroom brush her teeth wash her and get her dressed, feed her, and put her shoes and take her to school.( some days she is very good) no issues in school has lots of friends teachers love her and she is a smart kid. when she comes back from school she is such an angel , i dont have to tell her anything, she changes, does her homework by herself etc etc.During vacation there is no one as good as her in the family, not a single issue. I believe in positive parenting, and all my kids are gems, ( not boasting) they all behave very well, we have house rules and routines, i get lots of compliments about my parenting and how good my kids behave.this morning time with my 7 year old is really stressing me. i cant spend all my time before school concentrating on one child, i have to make breakfast, lunch and leave the house on time , i also have a 1year old.Please ladies where am i going wrong. HELP me plssss
THANKS

I don't know but I'm joining in because you could be describing my 8 year old DD.

Very popular, bright, happy....loads of friends etc. Lovely most of the time but when she's asked to do something boring or something leading to bedtime or leaving the house then we have ALL the excuses in the world and then sometimes a tantrum with meltdown.

I need help too.

Let her scream and shout all she wants but ultimately she needs to be washing brushing and dressing herself. Are you still going to do this for her when she's 10/11/12? This needs to stop now
