What about letting him sleep in his clothes for school? That may sound strange, but if he is wearing something relatively wrinkle free that could save some hassle.

Also, does he get up at the last minute and then you have to rush him? If so, maybe get him up 20 to 30 minutes early and let him veg. Watch a few cartoons, look at a book, etc. Have time to wake up and get going. My kids both do so much better if they have a little time to wake up in the morning before they have to start the whole routine of getting ready to go somewhere. And if he is too tired to get up earlier, have him go to bed earlier so he can make up for the lost sleep.

Ask him what he hates about getting ready in the morning? The rushing, the getting dressed, having to eat at a certain time, etc? Maybe you can pin point the exact problem and then you can work on a solution.

All kids can definitely be frustrating at times. Hopefully you'll figure out exactly what is going on and find a workable solution. Good luck!!!!! smile
