Tell the children in advance

But if you want to change the wake-up time, for example, from 7am to 6:30am, it is best to inform him: "Tomorrow morning I will call you 30 minutes earlier than usual.
Use light to wake up
You can turn on the desk lamp, adjust it to gradually increase the brightness and then go out. The light will help you wake up the child, because mankind has always been awakened by light. The light will awaken the visual system, then it transmits signals to the subconscious and awakens the brain, starting the limbs. This is considered the most natural way to wake up, both safe and effective and does not require you to exert effort. If there is no desk lamp in the house, you can open the door or the curtain to block the light, which will have the same effect.

Gently stroke to wake the baby
For children who are in deep sleep and cannot be woken up by the above methods, use this method. However, when using this method, you must be gentle and calm, starting from the hands to the arms, shoulders and then cheeks... If the child is covered with a thick blanket, put your hand under the blanket and gently stroke the child's hands or arms. When the child moves and opens his eyes, smile and tell him to wake up. However, you must keep your hands warm before touching the child. If your hands are cold, it will be counterproductive.
Parents should be patient in finding a suitable way to wake up for themselves and their children because it may not be successful right away after just one application, but knowing how to wake up without causing "damage" is very important for a child's immature brain.
