Wondering if anyone has found a good alternative to a reward chart?
I have DS5 and DD3. They wake up pretty early and love coming into bed with me in the morning (nice) where they kick and wriggle and eventually start fighting with each other (not nice).
We have managed to stop this through a combination of a mella clock which glows green when it’s time to get up AND reward charts for staying in room all night - often they’ll still get up early, see the clock isn’t green yet and then either read in bed or play with each other in their rooms. However this means that we’re constantly doling our rewards. As soon as I stop the reward chart within 3-5 days they’re back downstairs.
Does anyone have any tips on alternative strategies? The reward charts are getting expensive! Albeit extremely effective.
