[quote=Anonymous]I have newly 5yo twins and one wakes earlier than the other (also tends to fall asleep a bit quicker and occasionally naps at school while the other never naps). My morning rule is simply that whoever is up first can't wake the other one. So, just let your 7 year old know once she's up she needs to scoot out of the room. If you want to change on the other end, just let them know routine is changing a bit and 7 year old will be getting some free/alone time while 4 year old gets one on one story time. Sadly, this may be a PITA for you, but they will adjust quickly. We recently had to change bath time ... from shared bath to separate bath or shower. They didn't like the idea but were getting too big, were acting zany, and it was developmentally just time. For me, it's definitely annoying since they both want me to talk to them while they play and it just takes longer. But they adjusted to the routine change fine.)[/quote]
