What is the better way to Wake-up the School going Kids?

My son's class is in the afternoon so there is no need for him to wake up early. For the few times, that my son needs to wake up early like when they had their field trip, it wasn't really a problem. The night before I already told him what activity we'll do the following day. So, this gets him excited. So when we woke him at around 4:30 am, he is all up. My son likes to go outdoors a lot. The idea of going out and upon hearing that we'll leave him if he doesn't wake up, always makes him get out of bed. I think you should really know your son, to know what would really work best for him.

Hi aliasad! When my son is just four years old,I pity him 'cause he really have to get up at 5am just to catch up with his school service. Good thing my son really cooperates with me when it comes to waking him up. But there are really times it's hard for him to wake up and I really understand that. I can't show him the loving mom who would just let him sleep,instead,I try to let him feel that I'm already quite angry with him by not being responsible with waking up early for his school. I just have to explain to him correctly why I am mad at him when he doesn't wake up early,that is,it's for his own good,he needs to go to school and be responsible for it,the first step..wake up early. See you around!

It always amazes me how my kids can get up at 5:30 on the weekends but when it comes time for school 6:40 is WAY too early. But I know how you feel. Sometimes it's a struggle. And I would continue to get your kids to bed early so they can wake up on time. I always have several alarm clocks in their vicinity to wake them up. I actually make them get up, walk across the room to turn it off. Once they do that all the lights come on and it's getting ready time. My kids eat breakfast in school so I have them prepare everything the night before. Their bags and all of course. I always have their clothes set out for them in the closet so it's just fast. Just pushing and a lot of reminding helps get my kids up and going in the morning.

When my son was in kindergarten he couldn't get up. Living in an apartment, it was easy for me to turn on his favorite movie "Dumbo" and turn it up a little so he could hear. I'd go in, jossel him to wake up and then leave the room and he'd be up pretty soon. I'd then say he can't watch it until he is all ready to walk out the door to school and he did his thing, ate, dresses etc and was able to watch 10-15 mintues every morning. Worked great.

I had the same issue and tried many things so i got them a watch with alarm i set for the same time as my alarm it helped them feel more in control and important as i also said if they woke with the alarm and i wasnt up to come and wake me so we were dependant on each other it worked for me.

hmp..because i am also a student but not a 4-year old child..hehe i still also a lazy person specially when it comes to rise up early.. hmp..for me, let your child learn to wake up early..just give or tell them something that will motivate them like what they eat at breakfast or just give them a reward when they did something good in their school..and for you, just continue your policy of early to bed and early to rise until you successfully make that policy as one of your daily routine.. :)

Hi, Early to bed and Early rise policy is a good practice,but sometimes our children just do not want to sleep early at night. It same goes to my son,..for him, I set the time for him to go to the bedroom at 9.30pm and by 10pm , we will be in the bed. Sometimes, he will refuse to sleep at 10pm,but I have to be more strict to him. So let him lie on his bed and I will just keep quiet on my own bed too. I always tell my son that if he did not sleep early,tomorrow morning he won't have the energy to go school study and play.It does work on my son sometimes. On and off I will give him some small rewards for being an obedient boy.

Hello my friend, actually for me the best way is before your children going to sleep try them to communicate like offer them a story telling, and make agreement with them that you will again tell a story if you will wake up in the morning early or after that will compromise to them that you will wake up them in such time (early time). Then in the morning that morning you can wake up them if same scenario try to remind them your agreement with smile in your lips. In the start may not success but next couple of try will be successful for sure, because they will ask you the story telling again so you can compromise again to them. I think that the good way which I done in my two kids before... see you around

I believe letting them sleep earlier than 9pm is wise enough. Here toddlers will have a sufficient rest that their body needs, it refreshes and make them alive the next day because they get to have at least more than 8-hour of sleep.

This is his childhood, so this is a natural problem to every parent. Usually what i do to my kids is I always tell him something interesting the night before he go to bed. So next morning he's always excited to wake up early and listen to whatever i say.

When I was a child, My Grandpa is a dictatorial man. if he says:"GET UP!" I won't have the courage to sleep one more second..... Well, that's just a story, not a suggestion :)

I think that the best way to wake up a young child is to allow him/her to get enough sleep the night before. This will make it easier for them to wake up because they will fell more rejuvinated in the morning or whenever you wake them up.
