Wake up a child in the morning without screaming and tantrums is not an easy task. And after three months of vacation, it’s especially difficult. On weekends in anticipation of cartoons, the child himself jumps up early in the morning, waking up the whole house. But as soon as it comes to school and kindergarten, the only thing that can wake him up is Dad's scream or Mom's promises in the form of candy and new toys.
On how to turn everyday awakening into a pleasant process for yourself and for the child, knows the famous psychologist Dmitry Karpachev. Editorial "Site" I will gladly share his tips on how to wake a child without tantrums.
How to wake a child
Heel and palm massage
On the heels and palms there are a lot of nerve endings, the stimulation of which charges energy. Do the massage carefully and gently, you can tickle a little, and the baby will reach for you. And if you add hugs and kisses, then you can forget about the morning tantrums.

Give me time to wake up.
It takes about 10-15 minutes to wake up. Children are known to be capricious creatures, so they often do something out of spite. If the baby does not push, but just wake up and give time to lie down a little, then he will soon get up. So wake him up 15 minutes early.

Bright light.
It is known that bright lighting will stop the production of the sleep hormone melatonin, thereby stimulating the production of happiness hormones. In winter, when you have to wake the child in the dark, turn on the table lamp first, and then the main light. The gradual addition of light will simulate sunrise.
Fun music.
Nothing is more exciting than fun music. Put on a fire song and wake the baby up dancing. Even if the child does not cheer up dancing, he will definitely wake up from music.
Sweet for breakfast.
It is not enough to raise a child from bed, he still needs to wake up and energize. Therefore, serve for breakfast cereal with milk, tea with sugar or sweet yogurt. Carbohydrates will improve the mood of the Kinder well.
Morning planning
Make a list of things your child needs to do in the morning. You can draw it or write it on separate pieces of paper and hang it in the right places: near the washbasin, on the mirror, on the closet. It's going to be some sort of quest. Praise your child for doing things right and on time.
Promotion
Promise the child for the execution of all points of the schedule (brush your teeth, wash, have breakfast, dress) encouragement in the form of a cartoon or game. Just make sure you keep your promise. However, do not submit to childish manipulation.
Arouse interest
This is a supplement to the previous paragraph. Of course, if a child expects some adventure or good news, he will wake up faster. Make up a story about his toy running away and needing to be found, or let it cross out the days on the calendar left before the holiday event.
Stay calm.
Try not to scream or be nervous. The child is not you, he needs more time to gather and make decisions. If you raise your voice, it will unwittingly copy you and resist you.
All problems due to the disorganization of parents, not children. If you correctly explain to your child why you need to wake up early, and you can interest him, there will be no problems. Another important point: pay attention to the fact that the child should go to bed on time.

How to wake a child
- Prepare the baby in the evening.
If your child is young, pack his things yourself. And if already at a conscious age, motivate him for tomorrow: prepare a uniform or outfit together, let him collect textbooks and necessary things. Firstly, he will not be tormented by the thought of fussing with this tomorrow, and secondly, in the morning you will save time and be able to play together or communicate.
