Doesn't always work, and she's starting to get smart to itMaggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13777391581351895802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-804194858842522280.post-51557457790493660322012-02-26T07:59:23.936+00:002012-02-26T07:59:23.936+00:00The song sounds like a great idea, or just somethi...The song sounds like a great idea, or just something to make it fun! It sounds like she's trying to make it a game at the moment, so maybe make it into a game, but just of your choosing! Or maybe a sticker chart (ah yes just seen someone else has suggested that), with a star for every day she gets ready and leaves the house like a good girl, you could even time her and see if she can beat her personal best! <br /><br />Short of that....bribery?!Puppy dogs tailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06704371224306641004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-804194858842522280.post-14771641248655962882012-02-26T07:32:54.551+00:002012-02-26T07:32:54.551+00:00Instead of "put your shoes on", "wh...Instead of "put your shoes on", "which shoe shall we put on first?" <br /><br />Is there competition between the two? "Who can find their shoes first?" <br /><br />Pretend to dress wrongly (shoes on hands) so you get corrected.<br /><br />Put all the components of the lunch together in the boxes in the fridge apart from the bits you don't like to do in advance.<br /><br />Have all the things you need to get them ready together and prepared and unhideable.<br /><br />Take it in turns to get dressed - all PJ tops off, nappies and knickers, vests and bra, socks and tights... you get the picture. If you are willing, they can choose for you (I sometimes restrict that to undergarments.)<br /><br />Make up rhymes if they dislike your singing. <br /><br />Toreador them into their coats.<br /><br />Change the persuading activities so they are new and fun.<br /><br />Try a star chart, I can't remember if she likes dolls, but if she does, try getting the reward in advance - doll and all the getting ready clothes and items (as many as possible). Gain one for each day it meets your criteria - doll is out of reach but in sight except for the ritual adding of the item in the evening until doll is fully ready to go out. Your smaller one may well need a similar item to work on something.aendrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14268429602277811815noreply@blogger.com
