i have one child and it is very hard to get him up in the morning .

I would try putting him to bed earlier at night to see if this helped . It sounds like he is not getting enough sleep at night and requires more during the day . If it takes you fifteen minutes to get him up in the morning then try to get him to bed fifteen mintues earlier at night . I believe it will still take some time for him to adjust to this so wouldn't expect results right away but it would be worth a try . Best of luck !!

I had this problem for a little while with my son when he was 2, but I just tried to make it fun to wake up. I would open the curtains and wake him up with one of his toys in my hand, and say, "Oh, what a beautiful day, say good morning world," and he at first would say "no its not a beautiful day! I want to sleep" But after a while of consistency I think he gave in. And he is three now, and he actually wakes me up. He says. "Its a good day, mommy, listen the birds are singing you a song." I think it is really cute. He

My daughter goes down easily..Ask her to go to bed and she goes, waking up though is more of a challenge (putting her down earlier only makes it worst. too much sleep, not enough sleep, same results..Crabby, crabby, crabby.) I bought an alarm clock for her. I set it for 30 minutes before I need to wake her, I set to the music (it's a fisher price clock that plays nursery rhymes) It's loud enough to wake her, but not too loud. By the time I go in to get her up she is either already up and dancing...Or lying in bed singing. She gets up alot easier, and in a better mood too.

I have the same problem with my 6 yr old daughter. She goes to bed early, but has a hard time getting up. First, if your son isn't getting a good nights sleep, you should try to put him down earlier. This might be all he needs. If that doesn't help, I would just start waking him up earlier. I go in my daughters room and wake her up, turn on the lights and then leave. I do this about 15 minutes before I get the other kids up (the ones who get up on time.) Then I take that 15 min to finish getting myself ready. Every time I pass her room I say~ are you up? it's time! rise and shine. Then when it is really time to get up, she is at least 1/2 awake and gets up. Good luck.
