I think Bath's suggestion of a set routine is a good idea. Please feel free to ignore this advice as from someone who is only dealing with a 2 yr old that needs constant convincing - rather than a 6 yr old!
I saw on one of those TV shows 'Little Angels' the other day where the child psychologist (also dealing with a 6 yr old but he had ADHD) made up a routine chart, but used pictures and got the kids to tick next to each picture when they'd completed that task for the morning. If he got to the end of the week with all ticks then he got a reward (a trip to a park or something).
The pictures were simple - a bowl for breakfast, clothes for getting dressed, toothbrush, shoes.
Maybe that would help? The kids got heaps of praise when they finished all of their tasks for the morning and were allowed to watch TV once they were all ready.
I know I'll be back here in a few years asking exactly the same kind of questions!
