[quote=Anonymous]Locking in is a bad idea. He is listening to his body and it says get up! So now you have to start building rules that work for the family. Most rules for very small kids are for their owns safety or well being. But as kids age the rules change and start to include “rules for being a good family member” and the “rules for being a good person.” This is time for you to start telling him that he has things he can do like play or read or get a snack but he is NOT allowed to wake up others. And also, no sleeping for him outside of the bed. Not in the car or the couch. I suspect he is sneaking in naps at other times. I would also suggest that you actually keep him up a little bit later to see if that is what he needs. I think 8 is a reasonable bed time but maybe he is just the kind of kid that runs on less.[/quote]
