Pre-planning is the key - Bed time in 10 minutes. Get cleaned up and ready for bed...NOW!

I see you are moving too slowly to accomplish your assigned task, therefore I will motivate you to move at an accelerated speed. DROP! (front leaning rest, or the up position) By the numbers, 1 (down position, chest approximately 1" from the ground, back straight). After counting to yourself from 1 to 15, 2 (return to the up position). 3 (same as 1). 4 (same as 2, followed by your child sounding off with a loud and vigorous ONE, or TWO, or THREE, etc as appropriate). Repeat as needed until said child is properly motivated. There are lots of additional variations that can be added as needed, such as Leg Lifts, Squat Thrusts, and the ever popular Bends and Mothers. Given the proper motivation, many children will respond with great vigor to avoid this motivational approach. Start early and it will serve you for many years and may actually become a source of family fun for years to come.

As you can see, counting by parents and children can be fun
