If my kids get up to early they make a pallet beside my bed and they go back to sleep.They know they can't get in my bed so they end up in the floor ever morning.They bring their blanket,pillow,and half the stuffed animals they own.Good Luck.

My son has always been an early riser, which is good on the days that I forget to turn my alarm clock on. Schedules change and it seems that it is only 1/2 hour or an hour...Is she cranky when she gets home from school? My twins stopped napping at school for the past three months. They would fall asleep in the car on the way home and when we got home the nightmare began: no dinner, no bath, screaming for 45 min..it was just lovely! I spoke with the teacher and they are taking a 1/2 hour to 45 min nap at school now and life is much better. Do you want her to stay in bed because you need the sleep? (God only knows that this is a necessity). I like Mind4's idea, but my kids climb into bed with me and rest or we go downstairs and they veg on the couch for 1/2 and hour while I slurp my coffee. Kids just change sometimes. My son climbs into bed with me and he used to say that he didnt like his bed either or that he was cold, hes getting used to it. I wish you luck...

This is funny, but when I was small, my mother used to work very late and my dad was a teacher so he was out of the house by 6am. My mother used to throw a small box of cereal into my crib and a few toys and go back to bed for an hour...it worked....I still eat in bed though...LOL

Good luck!

Mainly I want her to stay in bed because she is so cranky.
I'm trying to get my other child ready for school. I've taken her into my room on the other side of the house just so we will not make any noise, still does not work. I think my 3.5 year old knows we all are up and she thinks she needs to be up also. Now on the other hand my 7.5 year old would rather stay in bed in sleep, doesn't it always work that way.
