[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you need to rethink things. 6:30a is a reasonable time for a child to wake up, especially one that has been asleep since 7pm and still naps. By putting on the tv immediately you're sending him the message that he'll get tv if he wakes up early and my guess is it'll just get earlier if you don't nip it in the bud. You need to go to sleep earlier so you can get up with your 2.5 year old. That's a perfect time to have some "one on one" time with him, which may positively affect behavior in the long run. I agree to stop with the monster spray. You're essentially affirming to him that there are monsters out there and he should be afraid.

He doesn't nap. Younger brother naps and I do quiet time with my oldest, which is basically me passed out in bed with my oldest while he watches something on the iPad. I try to go to bed at a reasonable hour. I generally do most of my chores in the evening and have dinner with my husband  so I'm in bed by 9:30-10pm at the latest. Than up again every hour or so until 3am or 4am on the rare occasion my 16 month old needs a boob. The problem is that once I'm up, by the time I fall back asleep, I have to get up again. I'll definitely nix the monster spray. [/quote]
