Re: toddler not a morning person

My son (6 yrs old) is not a morning person, most mornings. Some mornings are
great others... well... hell + doesn't even seem to discribe the horror.
I put him to bed earlier when he is a grouch in the morning, My kids get up
at 7:00, I set my alarm for 6:45 and wake them on my way to the bathroom.
Most mornings I give them first wake up around 6:50, then around 7:00 I
start really working on getting them out of bed. Around 7:15 they are both
usually up. So I can tell you from this that they need at least 15-30
minutes to get awake.

I say try getting her to bed earlier, give her a good 20 minutes of wake up
time before she has to get moving, and have things like clothing ready to go
for both you and her.

Good luck
Karen
