Use conflict resolution techniques. With older, more verbal children, various forms of conflict resolution can be of benefit. Allow children to suggest some solutions to the problem. These might shed light on their feelings about getting up late. Getting up in the morning is difficult for most people, and particularly for children.
Youngsters find it hard to be alert and energetic at that time and are often grouchy.
When that occurs, parents should focus their response on the child's feelings rather than angrily decrying the procrastination. Children who have difficulty getting up on time in the morning may benefit from an established routine throughout the week, including on the weekend. This means going to bed and getting up at the same time on Saturday and Sunday as during the week. Check out hidden conflicts. Children who fail to get up on time may be attempting to avoid something unpleasant, either at home, on the way to school, or at school.
