I'm having a lot of trouble getting the boys to get motivated to get moving in the morning. Today was absolutely ridiculous as we didn't get started until noon!
The thing is once we get started, it's goes wonderfully. We got so much done and quickly at that. I just wish that they would choose to get their work done first and play later. I think if we actually started on our work when I intend to, we could have a great chance of having everything done before noon on most days.
From the beginning, I've offered the daily incentive of playing on the computer if the day goes smoothly. It doesn't work. I've even told them that they could have game time on Fridays if the week goes smoothly. I've even offered a new game. Somehow this is not motivating enough. I don't know what else to do. I am at such a loss. I am tired of getting frustrated and yelling each morning in order for the school day to start. Seriously, it does not take an hour to eat a bowl of cereal or two slices of toast....
