If your preschooler goes to bed late and has to wake up early for school, would you wake him up or let him sleep in?

I will make him go to bed earlier. That will be better as kids need earlier rest for better development. If for some reason he is unable to sleep earlier then I will wake him up for school instead of letting him sleep in. It is not good for them to cultivate a habit of skipping schools just because they need to sleep or they slept late .

Definitely wake him up. If you don't and let him sleep in, it may become a habit. And if he sleeps in, nap times get affected meaning bed time would be pushed back and the cycle would repeat. You should wake him up. It is important for him to attend school and stick with the routine.

I will wake him up. School has a routine. Once he have taken for granted to sleep in due to sleeping late last night, he will cultivate his habit and it won't be good when it's time for primary school.
