Instead, "You know, we need to go, because we're going to be late if we don't leave right now." That's how that I would treat a co-worker. Well, use that with your children. That same politeness, that same respectfulness that we know to do with other adults, let's transfer that and use that with our children. You get amazing results right there, and we're back to the idea of respect.
