We do races. Do you think you can get dressed before I can get my hair and teeth brushed? No way, I am so going to beat you! There is no speed for Livy like competitive speed!

We’ve had much success with timers giving the orders (and a written schedule that I can point to and say, “the schedule says…”) but none so far with timers as a game. I haven’t tried it in a while, though. It’s worth another shot, especially now that she is coming out of this latest angry/limit-testing period and we’re having fun again.

One thing that may help is to make it a game using a timer. I found that my boys would do things when they were timed.
Also, it is the timer saying when they should be done and not you. So sometimes it’s not what you want vs what she wants.
