Problem: My son is almost 4. He wakes up pretty well every morning around 5:00 a.m. We have tried putting him to bed later, it doesn't work. The room is very dark so it is not the sunlight that is waking him. We are not sure what else to do. We tried changing his room around to the way he liked it. We have tried buying him new sheets with a particular design he liked. Nothing works. Any suggestions out there?

Solution submitted by Deb101 from Gonzales, LA: There are night people and morning people. I am a night person and unfortunately my oldest son has always been a morning person. No matter how late I kept him up he still has his built in alarm clock. The bright side is they do finally get old enough to learn to turn on the tv quietly and watch cartoons. When he was old enough to open fridge I would pour his glass of milk before I went to bed and he would go get it and watch tv a couple hours before waking me up! Good luck.
