My the kids did much better at the start of the year. Back in mid August we were at school 15-20 min early every day, the last 2 weeks we have been getting there right as the bell rings.<br /> I am trying something new starting this week. Bed time earlier, and adding melatonin, b-complex & flaxseed oil to their diet. I am hoping to post on how this works for us. I may also try you method of the stay home/work day too, it sounds like a good motivation to me!<br /> Good post though, and you are not alone in this struggle.
