[quote=Anonymous]Just be consistent, and understand that some kids are early risers. My 7 year old wakes around 6am most days, but he cannot come out of his room until 645am. He has an OK to wake clock, and if he comes out before then we just say "it's not time to wake up" and ignore him. It took some practice, but it eventually stuck. 5 years old is old enough that it shouldn't really matter to you what time she wakes, it just matters what time she wakes the rest of the house! So make it clear that if she cannot sleep, she needs to be in her room quiet until a later time. We also set out easy to eat breakfast so he can start his own day at 6:45, while we get up and shower. Build a routine for her that doesn't involve you, to give everyone some space to function. Also, our 7 year old is asleep at 7:30, sometimes 8:00 p.m. every night. It's a pretty normal bedtime for that age. Sorry, and hang in there! [/quote]
