How do u deal with slow moving child who whines and fusses every morning(no matter how early u wake them up) n is always late for school?
Re: Fussy kids in morning
my son is a whiner...he moans about everything, i now ignore his constant groaning and tell him to "get over it and to get moving asap", it works most the time. He is just attention seeking, so ignore it, a few times, i have made my son leave home without breakfast and carried him to the car without shoes and socks, he hates it and has now learnt his lesson and MOST mornings go smoothly.
Re: Fussy kids in morning
I have noticed it depends on how good of a dinner they had the night before.
Re: Fussy kids in morning
^ seriously u mean well fed, well slept at night won’t fuss in morning. 
Re: Fussy kids in morning
I think it could be the lack of sleep. Try to send him to bed an hour earlier. It should be easy during winter times cause night falls earlier.
Re: Fussy kids in morning
sleep n food r a factor. its my 5 yrs old. not interested in food, picky eater. bari mushkil se khaati hai. same in morning. she loves to skip breakfast. and then cry on everything possible. the days she won't fuss she won't move fast either.
kabhi kabhi tu dil kerta hai aik khainch k doon.
Re: Fussy kids in morning
Aap oos nanni see jaan ko khainch ke kiss dain .. that is what they need. Not eating is a common problem amongs kids. My 7 yrs old is the same in terms of not eating.

thank God i am not the only one to feel this way sometime!!!!!!
Try to find out the reasons why she is fussy?But some kids are heavy sleepers may be thats why she is making fuss. As I know kids want your attention and they do these things. Try different things and be firm instead of spanking. Like if she doesn't wake up just let her sleep and take her to school late and get tardy sometimes children feel embarras and they don't do it again. But still children love to test our limits and if she doesn't wake-up tell her I am gonna take you to school in your jammies and just put her clothes and shoes in car and take her school as it is.This idea works better with kids as they don't want to get embarras in front of their friends. My son was like mommy everyone is looking at my PJ I told him "Well its your choice either get ready in time or deal with the consequences."
Children know that we are always there and they just test us and make us angry sometimes.But better way is to keep it cool and calm and deal it with wittiness.:D
Re: Fussy kids in morning
Do they snore?
Have cough at night?
Asthma?
Short necks?
All can disturb sleep and leave the kid fatigued in mornings.

Re: Fussy kids in morning
My lovelies could bring me to tears they were so slow.....and this impacted on everything. they never had time to eat (and no doubt couldn't concentrate in class), always late for school and hence i was always late for work and i never ate either!!!!!
I just thought enough is enough!!!
Now they go to bed at 7.30 on the dot. They have their 11 hours of sleep. They have a clock in their room and downstairs so that they can SEE that time is going. This has proved to be really good trick because me yelling'you've got another 5 minustes' and then giving them half hour...the kids are not dumb.
Keep language and choices to a minumum and never NEGOTIATE.... ON ANYTHING!!!!
Make sure they get dressed first ( i used to make the mistake of getting them to eat first and then breakfast...bad choice..they alsmot never ate and therefore never got dressed on time).
Once they had eaten, were dressed and washed they could watch a bit of tele while i got dressed ( 10 mins max!!!).
IF THEY DO THE ABOVE THEN PRAISE PRAISE AND PRAISE SOME MORE!!!!!
You must establish a routine with them so that they know wahat happens next etc etc.
For some of you my way must sound like tough love ...but it works and now i don't get the 'late again?' look from the receptionist at their school.... (who has NO children so what does she know anyway...!!!
