What time do you think is reasonable for a young child to get up?

[anditwasallyellow]

Purely out of interest, not talking about babies but lets say the 2-6 age group. Do you have a time when you will tell them to go back to bed, is that time different depending on a weekday/weekend?

7 am is daytime here

but maybe at only just two then that could be bent to 6am onwards but working towards 7am

6am onwards

Yes, it was 7pm until aged 8-9 then it changed to 8pm.

At aged 2,3,4,5 i took them to bed, didnt tell them to go to bed.
No arguments, no negotiation.

6.30am - never made any difference between weekends and weekdays (2 year olds are hardly going to notice ). Probably helps that DH and I are early risers though ! Neither of us are bothered about having a lie-in.

ahhh go back to bed! i so have baby brain!!

No it was impossible, early wakings were the bain of my life.
Mine just didnt need that much sleep.

Ours is 7am.

I have 3.5, 8 and 10

weekdays we are up at 6:30 anyway so weekends I wont let them get me up before 7:30 ...eldest is quiet good and making breakfast for the smallest which helps!

6am here. Until about a year ago DS2 woke at 5.30 every morning and so 6am is an improvement!

Between 6-7am is the norm here. Dd2 went through a phase of wanting to get up at 5.30am so it seems like a lie in now

DS1 woke at 5.30 for years. He is now 11 and I have to wake to up for school!

wake him up

6.30am. Although, in my head, daytime starts at 7am, so I spend the first half hour in a sort of trancelike state.

After 7 I will get up. Of dd is awake before that she may sit in my bed and read books bit I will not get up unless she is I'll. Tbf she is v good in the mornings.

If you are having problems apparently gro clocks Can work quite well

A reasonable time would be 7. Unfortunately no-one has told my DD2 that. She's better these days - usually up around 6. She's better than DD1 though who used to get up at about 4.30....

The dc are 5yo and 12mo. They have to be woken at 7.30am on a weekday. At a weekend they naturally rise at between 8 and 8.30am.

DS goes to bed anytime between 6 and 7 depending how tired he is. He doesn't get up til gone 7, the rare occasion he wakes before then he plays in his room. He is 3 in november

Jamie that is music to my ears

No not having any problems, he gets up at about 7.00am, just wondering if I am unreasonable to tell him to go back to bed at 6.30am, which I do.

7am at the weekend/6am in the week

5am is morning for ds1, now 6, but he is not allowed to disturb us till 6am. Before he could tell the time, he had a light on a timer which came on at 6. He used to stay in bed but wasn't very good at keeping quiet, so I inevitably woke to the sounds of "the wheels on the bus" or similar. Now he reads from 5 till 6. Dd2 is also not allowed to get up till 6 and she lies and whispers to her toy bunny until then. 6 am is definitely a lie in!

6am onward is acceptable but I aim for 7. Before 6 and I would be taking them back to their bed.

The groclock "wakes up" at 6.40. The children can come into.our room but I won't get up till 7 to do breakfast. Ds used to be up around 5 and it was silly so the geoclock has worked wonders. He woke up at 5.50 for a wee today, hence why I am awake. Hope he and dd have gone back to sleep. A reasonable time to get up is after 6.30.

Our groclock is set to 7am. If DD1 (3) comes in earlier, I put her back to bed. DD1 (1.5) wakes up typically around 6.30 but I usually leave her in her cot until 7, she's quite happy singing to herself.

I want to keep 7am as our getting up time, maybe I'm expecting a bit much from DD1, but I do get her if she cries!
