Question

My daughter gives me hard time every morning to get up and go to school. what can i do?

Answer 1

Depends on the type of hard time.

The hour earlier to bed works (providing you can police it - by switching off the light circuit in the fuse box!).

One friend had a problem daughter and it turned out that she was horribly bullied - but wouldn't tell anyone. I happened to be driving and I saw what was happening, so I stopped the car and extracted the girl from a gang of around 20 schoolgirls!

Work out a quiet time for a non-important chat to see if bullying could be an issue - but be subtle.

Answer 2

you should ignore her and let her oversleep and find her own way to school. do this a couple of times. soon your daughter will get the message that if she doesn't get up early, she'll have to find her own way to school.

Answer 3

Whenever she gives you a hard time tell her that she has to go to bed 30 minutes earlier that night. THEN MAKE HER DO IT!!! There's no point in empty threats, it just teaches the child that if she holds out long enough, she'll get her way. Good luck!

Answer 4

Give her a reward if she gets to school early without hassle every day for a whole week.

Answer 5

I gave my mother a hard time in the morning when i was younger & she basically said if you don't get up tomorrow you are going to bed an hour earlier from now on! it deffinately worked.  another thing she liked to do is put alarm clocks in different spots i couldn't reach from my bed in my room to go off in 2 minute intervals.  also...she sang super happy upbeat VERY annoying songs to me.  i am now a morning person all thanks to her.

Answer 6

Most kids in our society do *not* get enough sleep. She probably really does need more sleep, for her health, and I agree that if she's really just tired, she ought to be going to bed earlier. If she wants to go to school, and just doesn't have the energy, just simply talking to her about what she needs to do and gently reminding her and making it easy (i.e. other families members aren't sitting there watching something fun on TV while she had to go lie down)  should do it.

But I'm guessing that she also just doesn't want to go to school. In that case, you are going to have a fight on your hands, whether it's to get her up in the morning or to make her go to bed earlier. Have you talked to her about that? If it's not a positive experience for her, are there any alternatives you could look into (such as homeschooling?)

Answer 7

My BIL's son does the same thing for his mother. I noticed when I got him up for school (she was in the hospital), he didn't cry as much or cause nearly as much trouble. Why? I don't debate with him, it's just gotta be done. I don't give him time to tell me how tired he is/ that this hurts or that hurts/ that he wants his mom to do it/ or any other lame time- consuming excuse. I also got him up half an hour earlier to make sure he actually got done on time!

This kid is four, but being firm and maintaining a routine should work for any age...hope this helps!

Answer 8

Give her a spanking and let her know that if she doesn't get up when you tell her from now on she will get another for each time that she does that.  The key is to be consistent.  When your daughter figures out that she will not get away with being lazy she will stop.  This may seem hard at first but she will get the message and will get up on time.  Grounding will not work, you have to punish her in a way that will get her attention immediatly.  Spank her no more than two times for each year of her age each time.

Answer 9

Answer 10
