[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.
Get yourself a digital clock, something like below.
Choose your time, ours was 7AM (ahhhhh).
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.
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! :)
