Buy yourself some extra time in bed!
The Kidsleep clock works by showing children in a simple, easy-to-understand way when it is time for them to get up, and when they should be staying in bed. When the child wakes up they simply look at the clock face - and the lit image on it will either show a sleeping animal (time to go back to sleep!) or a wide-awake animal (time to get up!).
As a parent all you need to do is set the clock to the time when you want your child to get up, and show them that when the sleeping picture is lit they should stay in bed. Most children take this on board rapidly as the visual cue is very straightforward, and within a week will be staying in bed (or at least not waking you) until the wide-awake picture lights up.
A good tip when you start is to set the waking time near to when your child is getting up normally (eg if your child is waking at 5am, start by setting the clock to change images at 5.15am); once your child is used to the idea, you can then move the time of wake up forward to 5.30am, then 6am, then 6.30am etc.
Suitable from about 2 1/2years and no, 10.30 still isn't an option!! |
