It's 5AM and your 3 yr old starts screaming for you "momma dada, come get me!"...you MUST read thissteemCreated with Sketch.

[SOLVED] I am telling you, I just did this and I could not believe it was this simple.... IT WORKED....3 nights in a row so far.

So this is you. Every morning at around 5AM you hear the dreaded screams "momma dada, come get me!". I have twin 3 year old girls, they turned 3, 3 weeks ago.

This is what your children (left-Gia Marie right-Bella Rose) should look like at 5AM (any time zone).

Unfortunately, they look like this

Here is what we did to end this madness.

  1. Get yourself a digital clock, something like below.

  2. Choose your time, ours was 7AM (ahhhhh).

  3. Apply a sticker or label over the ":00" part of the clock with a "7" on it (our desired time - see picture above). Important to just use round hour at first.

  4. Explain to the child that when the number on the clock ("7") matches the label "7" then momma or dada will come for you or you can say "momma dada come get me". But only when the numbers match, not before.

For us, it took 2 nights for them to start to use it correctly. Now the last 3 nights, OMG SUCCESS. MONEY$$$. We are so happy now. We even hear them wake up a little early, we woke up early this morning and we heard one child say to the other, "they don't match yet". My wife and I had a nice giggle.

I really do hope this helps someone else finally get some peace!!

Please let me know anything, if you like this technique, if you try it, it works for you or not or even if you enjoyed the post or not.

Peace for now! :)

awesome! great tip I have a few people I will be passing that on to today. I could have used it some years back now my problem is getting my teenager out of bed tip for that? ;)

thank you! unfortunately not yet on the teens, I have a while for that one. Money and threats are the only things that come to mind initially lol. We need come up with some serious motivation for that one. :) I will pre-plan even further now that you have mentioned this. :)

yeah you got a minute to plan! I have to take away a smart phone to have leverage, by the time your kids are teens who knows what you will be grounding them from :)

My 3 year old was up at 4:35 am today....
