[quote=Anonymous]I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, but some kids are just early risers. Our son was one for a very, very long time. Pretty much all through toddlerhood he woke around 5:00 and nothing we could do would get him to sleep later. She may need less sleep (long term issue) or be going through something developmental (short term issue), but either way, I think straight up CIO--and I'm a sleep training person--doesn't really work for this sort of thing.

Once your daughter is older (around 2), you can definitely try the wake up clock concept. You don't need a special alarm clock (in fact, the sleep trainer we resorted to seeing advised us not to). Just get a soft nightlight and a timer, and tell your kid that she has to stay in her room until the light goes on. Better yet, get one shaped like an animal and tell her the animal sleeps (goes off) when she sleeps, and she can wake up when it does (goes on).  You can try this somewhat before two, depending on your kid, but she may not get the concept. [/quote]
