Oh, one other note, we made a new rule of absolutely no screen time of any kind before school. It seemed that even if he was ready except for his coat, he just wasn't able to get moving toward the bus at the right time if he had screen time. At least he can walk to the bus stop with his nose in a book if he really can't put it down right then
.
Kimck, we have a similar schedule. DS gets up 1.5 hours before he needs to catch the bus and does his drum practice in the morning most days. This was a new addition to his schedule in January and has worked out pretty well.
