6. Set a timer that goes off around ten minutes before they need to be at the bus stop.
If they work at it, kids can do most tasks in ten minutes. So, if they are really lagging that morning, the sound of the timer going off will remind them to get in gear and get to the bus stop quickly. For older kids, have them set their own timers on their cell phone to keep them on schedule. Whether you use an old-fashion kitchen timer, watch, phone, or microwave timer, repeated use of the timers will help your family to stay on schedule and get to the bus or car–and ultimately school–on time.
