I agree with all of the pps. I've tried most things suggested and with the exception of the clock, the rest works well for us. I've had an early riser for years now and it just keeps moving down the line. First dd1, then DS and now dd2. Sadly she's still too little to be independent in the mornings just yet. But there is hope - I have to drag my two big kids out of bed now
Dd1 was 2 and 10 months when she started getting her own brekkie and watching tv.
