[quote=Anonymous]Personality matters. Can she get herself a snack and "play quietly" independently at other times, like lazy afternoons, when you are in another part of the house getting chores done, or when you are making dinner? If so, then leave dry cereal and bowls on a low shelf or on the kitchen table and let her know what's ok until you come down at 7:30 or 8:00. Could be books and puzzles. Could be a screen you have set up in a programmed/protected way you are ok with. Make sure things that you really want off limits like messy art supplies are really kept out of her reach if you don't trust her. Or if you really don't trust her, then you have to keep her awake and in her room only or awake and quiet in your room. Or you have to get up with her at her early time and work on the skills she needs so that you can work towards trying the go downstairs by herself for an hour thing in another 3-6 months.[/quote]
