When my kids were little, I used to have a difficult time getting them out of bed; so I devised an easy way to do this that is pure genius.
I would give them a few chances to rise when asked to or urged to and then result into using the Momma Bird approach. Momma Bird is essentially my saying in a calm, sweet and loving voice, “Momma Bird said to the baby bird”; then immediately switch to a loud and very obnoxious voice, “WAKE UP…WAKE UP…WAKE UP!” They got up very quickly and got going with ease. Absolutely amazing how well that worked. To this day, I may ask if I should do Momma Bird when I’m trying to light a fire under them, but for some reason they respond back with a “Please don’t”. LOL
I have shared this with a few mothers and they would just laugh hysterically at the fact that I did this. Sometimes I wonder if they thought I were crazy or if I had even done this at all. I assure you…I did it quite a few times.
Try it for yourself and you will see that it works every time!
