My 5 year old missed the bus on purpose. Update pg 5 cant add on to op for mobile
Make sure she's got her jacket, shoes and anything else she needs to wear, on before it's time to leave. Even if she has to sit around for 10 minutes with everything on. Then all she has to do is walk out to the bus stop when it's time. Either that, or she goes as she is, whether it's no jacket, no shoes, no hat, in PJs or whatever. She'll be cold, but she'll learn.

Maybe something is happening on the bus? My daughters bus used to be awful.

Quoting steelcage:Sounds like somethings going on on the bus. I'd ask her what's up. If it's nothing, then just put her coat and shoes on for her, take her by the hand, and drag her to the bus stop. Don't tolerate her games.
SHE doesn't need to know it's not allowed. You can actually use the uniform as an advantage. Tell her that if she's not ready by the time the bus comes, she's going as is. Everyone else will be in uniform and she won't be dressed properly. The same goes with the coat.
As for getting the coat on early, just tell her that she needs to get it on earlier so she's ready. Then give her something to do (draw, color, etc) until it's time to leave. That way it keeps her occupied and she's ready to go.

I do make her get ready ahead of time all except her coat because she tries toi leave the second her coats on although I can try it. The going in pjs if shes not ready sadly isnt allowed so I cant even tell her i will do it. She has a uniform to wear. :( but i could threaten to send her without her coat if shes taking to long.

I would spank her and have her lose tv/game priviledges. She needs to do as she is told.
