We always feel challenge to wake up our
children in the morning. I am trying to set a discipline to wake up my son at
5.30AM. He spends more than 20 minutes to get up from bed after he wakes up.
But I observed one day, he had to go
for a trip with his friends from school. He had to leave home by 5.00 AM.
Surprisingly he got up twice in the mid night and finally 4.00AM before the alarm rings.
One thing we can make out here, “between less pleasure and more pleasure we
always chose more pleasure”.
Between daily getting up and sleeping
for while, sleeping is more pleasure, so, he prefers to sleep. On the day of
school trip, the more pleasure to him is going with his friends.
Now the realization is how we can
create more pleasure to him instead struggle to wake him up. Sleeping is everybody likes it, but solution
to that is not reduce sleep, instead start liking something more than the
sleep.
The easiest way to take a person out
of hell is not to speak against hell, sell a heaven to him.
I tried this in his holiday, he likes
cycling with his friends. So I set a schedule in his holidays the cycling in
the morning 5.30 AM. One ring of alarm, he used jump from the bed and go for
cycling.
