A lot of kids are just difficult.  My DIL's sister's daughter drags her feet when trying to get her to do anything.  Infuriating.  I didn't get the chance to ask if she was slow getting ready for hockey practice.  Probably no.

I have one kid that will pop up out of bed at 6AM and even he isn't always a morning person, or happy to be up. The other two would just as soon be shot as get up early. All 3 have managed to learn to get up when they have to and get out on time. I just can't fathom not teaching kids about getting where they need to go when they need to be there. How did the kid ever get to school on time??

I don't know how they got her to school on time.

My older son was a late sleeper. Finally, I said, I am leaving for school at X time and you will either be up and in the car or walk. He walked a few times, then got the message.
