We had the opposite issue with my daughter.

She has some phobia about missing the bus or being late for school and would show up to the bus stop 30 min early. Annoying when she'd panic and get into an argument if her mom asked her to do something in the morning because she thought it would make her late.

We’ve all been there if we’ve had kids that age. I’m sure you’re a good dad.

My solution was to make my child walk to school.

I like it, but unfortunately we're too far from the school to feasibly walk.

We had a 12yo son melt down all of yesterday. Sorry man. They suck. Good luck.

My 12 year-old melted down last night because she had to eat a hamburger or hot dog before she could get a popsicle.
