I am not sure what to do with my daughter, it's been a week since she has moved from her cot to a single bed (she is 2y10mo) and she has been getting up earlier and earlier. This morning it was 4.30am. She gets up, turns the light on, turns the white noise off and then yells for me. Some days I assumed it was needing the potty but this morning she didn't even need that. I don't know if I should force her back to bed (she no longer naps and is sooooo tired every afternoon is a nightmare), or let her get up?
She was WIDE awake this morning. I turned the light off and put her back in bed but she kept getting out, so I tried lying with her in the dark and telling her stories and tickling her back but she got really angry that she wanted to get up. I then tried leaving her in her room and she just sat hiding waiting for me to find her (which made me feel terrible).
The one thing is she hasn't worked out she can come to our room yet!
My question is will this just calm down? And what is the recommended way of dealing with it? Get up? or ignore her? or lie with her? etc etc
Thanks so much
