Early morning waking can be exhausting for families.
Some children just seem programmed to wake up early and are full of energy – not like Mum and Dad! This is a book to help you manage a child who keeps waking before 6am.
When you are ready to tackle early morning waking, read this book with your child to help them appreciate what early waking does to you. A great way to help progress is using good rewards (stickers, stamps, etc) if your child can stay in their room until at least 6am.
And make sure you are not ‘rewarding’ your child for waking up early by letting them watch TV or use a computer, so that you can get more sleep. These activities can reinforce early morning waking, even if it seems like a good idea at the time!

Hello
Based on over two decades of research, these books are here to help your child (and you) manage some common sleep problems children have.There’s loads of advice out there about how to help children sleep, and at the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute in Melbourne, Australia, we pride ourselves on generating and sharing the advice you need based on evidence and research. This advice is now captured in the Kip books.
This series of six books is all about the common sleep problems in children, how your child can help themselves tackle them, and how you can manage them. Most are what we call ‘behavioural’ sleep problems (like getting to sleep, waking up overnight or waking up early).
As a paediatrician and researcher, I have seen over my 20 year journey, how much of an impact poor sleep in babies and children had on them as well as their parents. I met so many parents who were desperate for a good night’s sleep! So I hope you find this book fun and helpful, for you, your child, your family and your friends.
Enjoy and sleep well | Prof Harriet Hiscock
