I have a 2.5 year old who was "obeying" the clock and not getting out of his bed between 6-6:30 (clock was set to 7, I moved it back to 6:45 to see if I could get him to stay in a while longer)
His day looks like this:
6:45 "wake up"
2 nap
8pm BT
We've been on this schedule for about 9 months. When he gets up early in the morning he seems very awake. We've had him in bed at 9 one night recently as we were caught out late for dinner and he still wakes up at 6-6:30. He WAS tired that day however.
Any ideas? He's in a BBB so he can get out as many times as I'm willing to put him back! I've tried to stick to the motto that he needs to stay in bed until the clock turns yellow for a couple of weeks, but I'm not really getting anywhere it seems.
I haven't tried capping his nap because I need to sleep too
But have started to realize that might be my only option.
