[quote=Anonymous]OP, the key thing is to use the ok to wake clock incrementally. Say he wakes at 5am right now. Set that clock for 5:15. Once he can sleep to 5:15, set it to 5:30 etc. Get him to trust and rely on that clock. I did this with one of my kids, though he was younger then, maybe 2-2.5? But he would wake at 5-5:30 every single morning and would be eager to play. It was painful but I did the incremental method and it worked. Got him to wake at 6:30, which was still early but acceptable. If you set it to 7am, it is unrealistic. He will get bored waiting for it to turn green and not care about it. You need to slowly get him and his body to rely on it. Good luck. It sucks but it will pass, one way or another. [/quote]
