Getting out the door on time

I know there are alot of moms who have trouble getting out the door in time. I have finally found a system that works for our family. I started using chore charts. In the morning the kids are not allowed to watch TV and they must have done everything on the morning part of their chore chart by the time we need to leave. If they haven't done their morning chore chart stuff they lose TV for the day. They know I'll stick to my word so just the threat of not having TV when they get home is enough. The stuff on the morning part of the chart is just the basic things - make bed, eat breakfast, brush teeth, feed pet... This also guarantees that their teeth get brushed and the pets get fed. I will also get them some little treat for having completed the whole chart at the end of the week. There are some great charts at Chart Jungle. I love that site - there is a chart for everything.
