I think this was discussed before but has anyone had any success with one of those toddler clocks that changes colors when they're "allowed" to get out of bed? Our 21mo old is in the middle of a relapse and is waking up multiple times a night but is def smart enough to understand something like "it's still sleep time until that clock is green". seems a little too good to be true. do they work?
We have one for our 3.5 year old. Got it when we took the front off of her old crib and made it a sort of day bed (she's in an actual bed now). It works almost too well. We have it set for 7:05am everyday... And everyday at 7:05, you can hear her jump out of bed, open her door, and run into our room.
"My clock turned green!"
Not sure how it would have worked if we introduced it now instead of early on, but it has been great.
Can only think of one time (last week) when she came in before it turned green... She had a bad dream and got in my sleeping face at 4:30am. I was actually happy she did that because I had been worrying that she thought she was absolutely forbidden from leaving her room before the clock turned green.
I leave for work ~6:45am in the morning and most days I think she is already awake at that point and I feel bad for her, but she's still a little too young to just get up on her own to grab some milk and watch TV.
And that is a bunch of random and probably unhelpful commentary on the OK to Wake! clock.
