I may try! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dodid-routine-charts-help-your-toddler-in-the-mornings#post-1456861 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 00:06:26 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1456861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyD: yes it always works. the only problem is you have to warn them that it will end or you could end up with a transition nightmare.</p> <p>i try to play a youtube video (lately they're really into venus fly traps) and not cartoons. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dodid-routine-charts-help-your-toddler-in-the-mornings#post-1456853 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 00:00:58 +0000 JennyD 1456853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: how does that work??? Can it work every day? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dodid-routine-charts-help-your-toddler-in-the-mornings#post-1456848 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 23:55:06 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1456848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my secret trick when we're running late? i play a 5 minute video. works every time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dodid-routine-charts-help-your-toddler-in-the-mornings#post-1456847 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 23:54:06 +0000 JennyD 1456847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh. Me too. </p> <p>This morning I tried getting her up before I made breakfast, thinking I have been rushing her, and this would give her a chance to wake up a bit more before I rushed her to get dressed. Did not help. </p> <p>I think I'm going to try explaining to her every morning what we have to do next. Our biggest problem is the endless whining and crying. I'm exhausted before we even leave the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dodid-routine-charts-help-your-toddler-in-the-mornings#post-1455554 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 16:16:49 +0000 winniebee 1455554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To answer your original question I don't think a chart would help T yet. But he won't be 2 for another 2.5 months :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dodid-routine-charts-help-your-toddler-in-the-mornings#post-1455519 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 16:12:36 +0000 looch 1455519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, it wouldn't have helped. </p> <p>My husband gets him ready in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dodid-routine-charts-help-your-toddler-in-the-mornings#post-1455509 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 16:11:44 +0000 Weagle 1455509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: We've started using this tactic too. Especially when we're all trying to get ready at the same time. </p> <p>I don't think my almost 2 year old would benefit from a chart yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dodid-routine-charts-help-your-toddler-in-the-mornings#post-1455475 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 16:06:09 +0000 winniebee 1455475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It takes forever to get out of the house for us too. I change him while he watches a 10 minute episode of Thomas the train. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dodid-routine-charts-help-your-toddler-in-the-mornings#post-1455468 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 16:05:05 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1455468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>bump :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dodid-routine-charts-help-your-toddler-in-the-mornings#post-1453450 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 09:57:17 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1453450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm getting tired of it taking SO long to get DD ready and out the door in the mornings (she always runs away from us when we try to get her ready). She's 2 so I'm wondering if a routine chart would make a difference. </p> <p>Did you use one? Did it make a difference? </p>
