[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teach them to get out of bed and come to your room when they need you.  If early waking is a problem, try a nightlight with a timer (it's not time to get up unless the light is on.)[/quote]

Yeah this.  Letting your kid cry and then eventually going in just teaches them to cry louder and longer, so it will probably take a while to undo what you’ve taught.[/quote]

OP here - I realize that what we did while she was sick has created this issue. My question is whether we just let her cry to break her of it (consequently waking her sister) or is there something else we can do that avoids waking her sister. [/quote]

Is this the older one or the younger one?  At 4, I'd practice coming to find mom and dad when she needs you at night.  At 2 some kids are still in a crib, or scared of a dark hallway, making that harder.

But I'm not entirely sure what happened with her being sick.  If a sick child, who usually sleeps through the night, woke and called for me, I wouldn't wait ten minutes.  [/quote]
