Mrs P, can you try making it fun? If the first time I ask something I ask it in a fun way my kids are all for it! lol. i.e. 'ok, little bunnies, can you hop over here for me so I can brush your hair' ... and they hop over because they think it's a game. Otherwise, I just let them see the consequences, i.e. sorry, we can't go to the park yet because you're not dressed, as soon as your dressed we can go!
