Get Them To Bed Early
You must ensure that your kid gets enough sleep so that he or she can wake up early. So make sure your child goes to bed early so that he or she can wake up feeling fresh.

Set A Musical Alarm
Instead of the same old droning alarm clock, set a musical alarm with a catchy tune. This will allow your kids to wake up to music than to the harsh notes of the alarm clock. This is one of the best ways to wake up your child.

Play Them Up In The Morning
In our busy schedules, we rarely get time to play with our children. If you are a working mom, then this is all the more true for you. You can spend the time in the morning playing in bed with your child. Instead of forcing them to wakeup, do it playing and also get to spend some quality time with your kid.

Set Rewards For Early Rising
Punishment is never the right way to teach your kids good habits. You must try to teach them with rewards. Set small rewards like a extra spoon of chocolate sauce or half an hour of extra play time for the family member who wakes up first.

Kiss Them Out Of Bed
Instead of yelling at your children early in the morning, show them some love. A good morning kiss is the best way to wake up your kids. Your child may not wake up immediately after the first kiss. But keep showering his or her cheeks with more kisses until they wake up smiling.
