I have a 5 year old son and a 5 month old son. My 5 year old goes to be at 7 every night. He usually wakes up around 6 and I let him have the iPad. We've been trying to cut back on the iPad because he started waking up earlier and earlier, one morning it was 2AM! And he ends up waking the baby because he comes in loudly and asks for it. So we put an alarm in his room set for 7am and I told him that if he wakes up earlier than 7, he doesn't get the iPad but he can read or play quietly until the alarm goes off and then he can come get me. I know if he knows he won't have the iPad then he won't want to wake up so early...or so I thought! He literally hasn't obeyed the rule once. This morning I'm laying in bed writing this at 5:30 in the morning because my 5 year old came in and wouldn't go back in his room, waking up the baby and me. It drives me crazy! I don't know what more to do. Is this rule too strict? I don't want to be unreasonable but I don't want him waking the baby up every morning.
