What did yall do for your toddler to stay in bed in the morning?

Question

We are just starting big boy bed today! And he took his nap and got up about 2 hours later which is normal and then came out of his room. Like opened the door and came out. I dont mind that during naps. But I dont want that during night time. And I dont want to put a child lock on the door and "lock him in" any suggestions?

Answer

A friend of mine has a clock in her boys room and when it’s his wake up time it changes colour. So if he wakes and the clock is blue for example, he needs to stay in bed. But when it’s wake up time it changes to yellow so he knows he can get up. 💁🏻‍♀️

Answer

Maybe a gate? That way the door is open but he’s contained to his room.

Answer

I did baby gates either at the bedroom door or at the top of the stairs (2 different houses) depending on what else was around for them to get into.
