Get Your Kids Out the Door Faster With These Tricks

Starbucks

Give 'em what they want

Let’s be real: I’m not above a good ‘ol fashioned bribe. It sure beats nagging or yelling for them to "hurry up" one million times before we leave the house. So, when I want my kids to move quickly, I offer them a reward. Some of the things I’ve used as bribes include a few extra minutes to stay up at bedtime, one extra TV show when they get home from school, or a special game or treat after dinner. And when we’re really in a rush, I offer to take them for a Starbucks drive-thru treat if there’s time to spare.
