Hi,

I'm new here and at my wits end.  I have an 11 year old daughter who is in 5th grade who has several chronic health issues.  She has been giving me a real tough time with getting up in the morning and getting ready for school.  It is like time is non-existant for her!!  Homework and chores are yet another story.  She sits down to do it and it takes her ages, focus is definitely an issue.  Mornings are the worst as she refuses to get out of bed and spends an hour in the bathroom.  She doesn't care if she gets a tardy at school.  She also makes her other siblings late.  It is really frustrating and no form of talking, pre-bedtime discussion or yelling works.  Her doctors don't think it is a medical issue and think it is more behavioral. 

Any suggestions...please.
