My 4 year old, on school days takes absolutley ages (about an hour) from the time of being woken up, to get herself washed and dressed for school. This isn't because she stays in bed, or doesn't want to go to school, she just wants to play, dress as a fairy etc. We used to constantly nag her, but this just started the day with arguments, and tension. So now we just leave her to it, and carry on without her. Then, when its breakfast time, we tell her we are about to start, and this normally is the kick she needs, and is done in 5 mins! It drives me mad, anyone out there with any strategies that may help move things along a bit more quickly?
