We've hit the teenage years with a bang! DS is nearly 13 and he is growing at an amazing rate (he's 5foot 7inches with size 12 feet). He used to wake up at 6am without fail, he was just one of those early risers! His bedtime is 9.30pm and he really struggles to sleep. We've redecorated his room to make it more comfortable with a new bed and we do him horlicks at bedtime...
It doesn't seem to matter what we do, he just won't get up in the mornings!! I get up at 6.30am and wake him but its usually 7.15 by the time he can be bothered to get up properly. He has always been a nightmare in the mornings and I've just accepted that its a boy thing but I try to encourage him by putting up a schedule of what needs doing and when. If he doesn't get ready, he makes his sister late for school and me late for work. (he has also had detentions for lateness).
Lately, I've been putting my head through the door and throwing about half a cup of water all over him and his bed - certainly gets him up! Is this unreasonable? (he doesn't seem to think so).
