Help with 6 Year Old in the AM

We need any suggestions to get our 6 year old boy to follow his morning routine. He has ADHD and is on meds for it. He sleeps all night and has no problem getting up. But to get him to get dressed and eat then brush his hair and teeth has become a battle. A losing one at that. We have him pick his cereal so we are not forcing him to eat what we chose.
