It's time to wake up for school. You have been trying to get your child dressed and out of the bed for almost a hour. It is now 15 minutes before you have to leave or he/she will be late. He/she has already ate breakfast. You already gave them their school cloths. They are screaming at the top of their lungs. They are telling you they are not getting up, they don't want to and don't have to. They are calling you dumb and mean. What do you do?

Snatch them up. Whip them. Then forcefully get them dressed.

Wait it out. Take them to school late.

Talk to him/her calmly. Explain how this is not acceptable and school is the most important thing.

Calmly tell them, "Starting now. Every minute you keep screaming, not getting dressed, and name calling me is equals 1 day without phone/tablet/game system."

Do nothing. There is no reason to fight with him/her. They only missed 1 or 2 days of school so far. There must be a goo reason they are acting like this.
