Hi
I have a 3 1/2 year old who used to sleep really well - in bed by 8pm, slept til 6.30-7.30am. Now he is getting up at 5.30am every morning. it is driving me insane as I am a single mum and work full time and need some sleep! I've got blackout curtains and a blind in his room. I say to him its too early go back to bed but he screams if I try and get him back in his room and won't stay there not even to play and tries to get me out of bed by giving me my slippers, pulling covers off etc. I don;t want him up at this time but if he has to I just want to know how I can make him relaise he has to amuse himself til its a more acceptable time to wake up. At the moment the only thing that works is for him to watch a DVD diwnstairs but I feel really bad for this as he is obsessed with this.
What is a reasonable bedtime for this age - is being in bed and asleep by 8pm too early?
Help!]
