How Would You Have Handled This?

I have a pair of dawdlers (twins) and they were taking FOREVER getting ready at pick-up time. So one day I set my trusty timer to "count-up" mode and told them I was timing them. They got dressed in under 5 minutes instead of 20 that first time and now are down to less than 2 minutes and BEG me to time them every night. Lots of praise and the timer have worked wonders. Maybe you could try something like that? Get her racing against herself and make a bit of a game out of it.

Let her lygag. Then have everyone go outside at the same time. Including her. Without a coat or boots. Have her pick them up and carry them outside. She can put them on outside while her friends are playing.

How do you do that when the grounds all wet and yucky! I can see me getting a big visit from liscensing on that one.

why, she's refusing to get dressed, thats not your problem. She has all the proper equipment but refuses to use them. You can have a mat outside and thats the dressing mat, you stay on the mat till you get dressed, this way you can still have control over the situation.
