1. Happy way - ask him politely to put on his clothes eat breakfast and go outside, the effect of this that it takes me about 2 hrs to get him going including playing with toys, uber consideration, a lot of energy on my behalf - on occasion this method comes out great but 68% of time will result in him not wanting (crying, screaming, taking off clothes etc) to dress up cause he knows it means going to school., once outside it is a different world new impulse all is forgotten.

Strict Way - Explain to him we have to go and force (struggle) the clothes on to him, this results in stronger resistance..........
The outcome is the same, once outside.
This method is more efficient time wise.

It hurts me either way, i know that once he is at the the destination he loves it, the resistance is hell.

Advice pls.

Did you try to read any good books about what to expect at every age?
Your kids behaviour is normal, at that age they are hell and they will drain you to dead.

Remember people the doctor is not always right, parents know better than the doctor what works or doesn't work with your children, do not allow any doctor to tell you otherwise.

Thanks for tips - made a deal with the wife to take him out of bed in mornings, put on sofa to get him the feeling that day has started.
Asked her to tell him that he needs to help pappito dressing up without complaining.
So far it has been all smiles.

yes i should get into reading books about this subject.
