Part of what worked for me after many different approaches which were unsuccessful was for me to also get dressed and go out at the same time even though my DH takes them to gan. I didn't always have somewhere to go (sometimes I would go with them to gan and then my DH would drive me home) but when my DD saw me in my PJs, she certainly didn't think that was fair. Now, I get dressed before I wake her up (good practice for my lazy self anyway) and since she knows no one will be home with her, she gets dressed and mentally prepares herself to face another day at gan. She actually likes it there a lot but has a very hard time with changing activities and separation from home/me. It has gotten sooooooo much better than before and someone who says they don't have any issues with their kids because they'd never let that happen, well, they never met my DD. Even the therapist doesn't know how to apprach half of the stuff she tries. But that is worse than the typical kid. I'm hoping everyone else's kids will finish their stage of defiance and deal with the morning ruitine. My DS (same age as DD) has no problem getting dressed although he hates mornings (rather early mornings!- just like me...)
