Any advice please!
My 4 year old wakes at 4:30/5 every morning!!! He doesn't have a day sleep and then is so tired by afternoon. Plus his 12 month old brother wakes as he hears his brother up!
Any advice on getting them to sleep longer?
Thanks

Our rule, in our house is they aren't allowed out of bed until a certain time. They can read books quietly in bed but not allowed to make noise. It actually encouraged him to go back to sleep.
Get one of those lamps that changes colour when it's time to be in bed and time to get up. Or put a digital clock if he can read numbers and tell him he can get up when the first number says 7.
If he gets out of bed, send him back and remind him he can read his books quietly but he is to stay in bed.
Just a thought, with the weather recently cooling down is it possible he is getting cold at that time of the morning and it is causing him to wake up?
And then once hes awake he just thinks its time to get up!
