“It’s time to get dressed.”
“Come on – breakfast is ready.”
“How many times do I have to tell you that it’s time to leave for school?”
“Please hurry up!”

Does this sound like a typical morning in your house?

“Dawdling” is defined as: taking more time than necessary, to move lackadaisically, or to linger. My mother called it “dilly dallying”. No matter the definition, dawdling can turn a perfectly good morning into a nightmare!

We have to remember that parent priorities are not the same as kid priorities! As we try to make our priorities (getting to work or getting them to school on time) into their priorities, children will dig in their heels with a “I’ll go when I want to go and you’re not going to make me” attitude! At that point, the morning routine turns into a full-blown power struggle.

Why Do Kids Dawdle In The Morning?

A few of the reasons include their need to have a bit more control over what’s going on, a need for more “positive power” in the family and sometimes a lack of emotional connection with you because of a hurried and hectic routine or lifestyle.

But mornings don’t have to be chaotic and stressful. Positive Parenting Solutions Online will teach you why kids dawdle in the first place and what you unknowingly do to encourage it. We’ll also provide you a proven system of tools that will reduce dawdling and helplessness in your morning routine and get you out the door with a calm voice and a positive attitude!
