[quote=Anonymous]Went through this for about a month with one of our twins. It was awful. They had a light alarm (it turns green when they're allowed to get out of bed in the morning) and it had been working like a charm but all of a sudden she started getting up shortly after going to bed, in the middle of the night, and early in the morning. I'm not entirely sure why it eventually stopped, but I did start being a little harsher and simply putting her back to bed and reminding her before bed that she needed to stay in her room until the light went off and then rewarding her (with high fives and hugs) in the morning when she stayed in bed. Every kid is different, but in my experience with wake ups/difficulty going to bed, it always made it worse when I went in or rewarded the behavior (by letting her come in our bed, for example). So my advice would be to limit the talking when he wakes up, just get him back to bed, and remind him before bed each night of the importance of staying in his room. And get the alarm light if you don't already have it so it can serve as an end point for him. [/quote]
