I like IceCreamKid's advice but would personally amend some of it. I'd take away the distractions (the cell phone especially) and make her earn them. They cost you money, money you will not have if you lose your job? Getting up is a chore! No one likes to do that, to get to work or school on time and there's no reason she should get "special" treatment on that. I would set some more responsibilities in addition to getting up and to school on time, find some things she can help with around the house. She's old enough to learn that food, shelter, and clothing are not from Santa Clause/free? The food has to be prepared, the dishes washed, the garbage taken out, etc. If she cannot "cope" with going along with a more advanced program yet, take her back to basics and she can gradually earn more rewards and greater responsibilities (like money of her own to spend).
