Alarm clock suitable for a young child

[jemson]

Thanks for the advice. Any recommended shops? Mother care?

i dont get this.i know prisoners have to wait until the cell door is open but arnt we talking about a child:loopy:

 

We're trying to teach her to get sufficient sleep, Robbo. She is nearly 4 now and , when she is a little older, we shall teach her to write properly; might do your first lesson free if you ask politely.

 

If you are going to pull somebody up on their writing at least learn to punctuate properly yourself. Sorry don't normally make this kind of post, just one of those little things that annoy me.

thank you steroc,i was merely voicing my opinion.as for writing lessons i dont need them,i have a good standard of living,have three grown up children all with professional jobs.(is that with two ffs )all without a bell ringing.you see we shared a full day of activity with our children,tucked them up in bed and they slept right through until morning,although some mornings rather early,but it was wonderful to see them burst into our bedroom crayons and books in hand.ah happy days.

Why not just get a normal clock. Teach your child to tell the time and explain to her that if she wakes up before 7 in the morning that she should either lay down and close her eyes for a bit longer or quietly look at a book etc until it is time to get up? This allows her to sleep until she has rested enough and wake up naturally but also respect for allowing others to sleep too

I agree, but am I missing something, when our 3 were young they got up early and we said to them play quiet in your bedrooms or go and watch TV. As Robbo says it is nice to see them in the morning using their favourite sayings, can I have, or so & so has done this & that.

 

It's all part of growing up, can't fathom if the OP is upset as they child is disturbing their sleep pattern, through getting up. We now have grandkids sleep & they can get up anytime from 6am, if they get up then they just climb in with their nan.

Kind of agree. Waking up around 6 or 7 am is natural for children and the op does make it sound like its because the child is spoiling their weekend lay-ins. I have a 3 going on 4 year old and at that age they can't get up and work a modern TV with remote control and 100's of channels. Personally doesn't bother me because I'm always awake early anyway. Also if there's only 1 child they won't want to stay in the bedroom and play like they would if they had siblings to play with. They just want to be with Mummy and Daddy. If there's 2 parents which I presume there is as the op stated 'us' then take it in turns to get up, that way each parent gets the occasional lay-in and child gets some one on one bonding time with each parent. There's also the possibility of getting yor child in to the bad habit of staying in bed too long which could affect there future. I know people my age (38) who can't hold a job because they sometimes can't be bothered to get up.

 

That should be 38, but on a forum that's so against text speak won't let you put an 8 and a close bracket together without changing it to a smiley. Surely it's the same thing???

If you don't think such clocks are suitable for YOUR family/little ones then no one is for a second suggesting you go and start using one.
