    How do I get a seven year old boy up and ready for school when he has no concept of time?

      Hi! I apologize for not getting back to you sooner, I did not see your comment until now… Does the boy have a alarm in his room or are you going in and getting him up?

      In any case, I would suggest you give yourself plenty of time to get ready in the morning. Figure out how long it takes to be completely ready and what time do you have to leave in the morning and work backwards. So if you have to be out the door by 8am and it takes 45 minutes to get ready. Then I would suggest getting up not at 7:15am but actually 6:45am, give yourself about a half hour of extra time….

      At this age you really still need to help him with the concept of time… Grown adults can still struggle with this…

      I hope this helps…. Best of luck in the upcoming school year!!
