In my view, the reasons as to why your daughter might not be able to follow a daily routine, because maybe they are being given to many instructions for the routine hence confusing them. It could also be a disciplinary issue also where your child plainly refuses to follow the routine set out for her. Follow up with the teacher at school so that you can both monitor her and be able to find a solution for her. You can also consult with your doctor to know if she has ADD/ADHD.

I was the same way. I promise she will grow into it. Try routine lists?

One word hormones, ok its only part of it. Her brain is not totally developed yet so be patient. Think of her as a frustrated 2 years old, remember her from back then? Mentally she knows what she wants to do but physically she's not able yet. Limit your list to no more then 3 things at once & if need be write those 3 down. When they are done give her 3 more
