What’s your secret on getting your kids to sleep in a little later!? No matter what time I put my…

I need to know toooo. My kids usually go to bed between 8-9. And wake around 6. Which is fine for the older 3 with school comming up. But my 2 year old is always the first to wake up and he wakes up the rest lol

I guess if they weren’t sharing a room this might help. I’m not gone through this yet but my friends with older kids would use a special clock that showed two faces, one with night and with day. They explained when she/he needed to stay in bed until the face was showing to rise. I’m not sure if this will be helpful at all. Here is a picture of kindof what I am talking about

I would love to know.

My youngest could go to bed at 730 or at 11 and he'll still be up at 630.

I'm not sure if sharing a room has anything to do with it. For me, all my children still sleep with me in the bed😩. I'm not exactly sure how, but they'll wake up at odd hours of the morning. Sometimes it'll be around 6 or 7, when my husband has to get up and get ready for work or when their oldest sister gets ready for school, around 10 or even sometimes 11, which gives me some time to rest or do what I need to do.

I never woke them up to feed them when they were younger. Whenever they wanted the milk is when they got it . They're 2 (twins) and 4 now and they'll sleep sometimes until I'm ready for them.

One thing I did do was sooth them back to sleep if they did wake up a bit early when they were babies. Also we have a night time ritual, but I don't know, every child is different and the positive thing about them waking up early is that you'll never have to fight with them to wake up when it comes to getting them ready for school

Liam and X share a room. Wyatt and willy share a room. But Liam, the youngest, is always the one to wake up first then he wakes up X and then runs into the next room lol

Hell if I know. My youngest still wakes up with the fucking chickens.

We use an ok to wake clock with my oldest. His looks like a traffic light and we told him that green means it’s ok to get up and get us up, red means stop and rest or play quietly

I've heard lots of good stories about the clocks mentioned. But I also read a blog post about a cheaper version. You have a digital clock in the room so the kids can see the number. So if you want them to wake up at 8, you teach them what the 8 looks like (it takes some time). You tape a picture of the 8 over the minutes of the clock, so the kids can see when the hour matches the number. That's when they're allowed to get up. Just an idea that I would try with my little guy. Also, no getting out of bed until then for safety reasons.

Do you think the sun coming up might be an issue? It was for my son so we blacked out every inch of his room and it helped him sleep in a bit later.

I make my son play a lot right before bed and make sure he’s really full from dinner. We have the windows covered. And sometimes I let him stay up an hour later. Or I make him stay awake when he gets real tired. He goes to bed about 8:30 every night. Sometimes he’s up before the crack of dawn other times he sleep till 8-9. Also if I get up before him I’m quite.
