Helping one of my teens with procrastination
One of my teenagers who struggles with depression (but is on Prozac and works with a therapist regularly), is always late for everything. In the morning before school I can hear his alarm going off in his room and I have to come in and pull him out of bed. He's late for school, this summer he was 5-10 minutes late for work everyday, and he's even late for church a lot. I remember being like this at his age but can't remember what caused me to stop. I haven't been like that for more than 2 decades. He says he doesn't feel like doing something and just waits for the urge to get up to hit him or the adrenaline rush when he realizes he's going to be late.
Any suggestions how to nip this in the bud?
