[quote=Anonymous]Next year is middle school.  The bus comes at 7:30.  That means he has to be up by 6:45--7 at the latest.  And he's a morning slow poke.

He has an alarm clock.  It shrieks.  We all sleep with the doors closed.  I hear it in my room and have to go turn it off.  He does not hear it.  It sits on the bed next to his head.  I shake him.  Come back a few minutes more and shake again.  Usually, I have to give up and pull him out of bed onto the floor.  Then he at least opens his eyes.  And then the morning fun of getting dressed, brushing teeth, and eating breakfast begins.  We pack the backpack and lunch the night before.

Currently, his alarm clock goes off at 7 and by 7:20 I'm pulling him out of bed.  By 7:45 I'm losing my mind that we need to be out the door.  On a good day, we're out the door by 8:00 but it is not pleasant.  On the weekends, he sleeps until 9:30/10.  He goes to bed at 8:30.

How can I start working with him to get himself up when the alarm lock rings?[/quote]
