[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My girls (7 and 5) have been sleeping in the same room since they were 4.5 and 2.5. The have the ok to wake up clock and the older wakes up earlier and iften wakes up the younger, but it’s usually 15 minutes earlier or less. We don’t care because they play mostly quietly and don’t bother the rest of the house. I think your issue is that they should play quietly instead of fighting and screaming. Perhaps you could makes sure they play a game and they are not loud about it. Instead of focusing on whose fault it is (who woke up who), you should punish/reward both if loud/quiet. I try not to put one child against the other (it happens anyway), but I try to punish both when they do “bad” together or reward both when they do “good” together.[/quote] The 5 year old had anxiety so it upsets him GREATLY and he gets very frustrated if the younger brother is loud or wakes him up, because DS1 is powerless to stop it and knows he’ll get in trouble.[/quote]
