- Make sure she picks out her outfit the night before
- Have her bags and/or lunch packed the night before
- Give her only one task at a time in the morning - she VERY easily gets distracted or forgets what she has to do next
- Keep the television off in the mornings
Another thing we struggle with is getting breakfast in her. Many times she ends up out the door with a half-eaten bowl of cereal left behind on the table. I was excited when the people over at YOP asked me to try out their drinkable yogurt. This is a great solution for busy mornings, and we tried it out with basketball camp this past week. All my kids found their favorite flavors, and I'm sure this will become part of our back-to-school morning routine.

Your daughter is too funny. Do you think she is getting enough sleep?
I remember my youngest sister going through this stage, I also remember mu dad becoming so annoyed at another morning listening to Mum trying to get her out of bed that he ran a cold bath, scooped her off the bed and dumped her in it. As shock treatment went it was hilarious, not really the thing to do and it did help. She only had to be called once from then on.
