My 9 year old boy often has no sense of urgency .. likes to take his own sweet time to do his preparation prior to going out of the house with us. It is driving me nuts cos I have to keep reminding him to hurry up ! I've tried to set alarm to time him for different routines that he has to do such as brushing his teeth, changing his clothes, showering etc but it works sometimes but not all the time. Frustrating when u need to rush out to work n he still dilly dally . Any good tips ?

this is what i will do to my kids. example during shower time he likes to delay and do it slow. i will say. you delay my time in the shower, i will cut short ur play time. initially he thought i was joking, until one day i kept all the toys and lights out. he had no choice but to have an early night. you can try this method. i did it in my 5yo. not sure about 9yo
