What if my child does not start waking to the alarm straight away?
It may take a few days, and in some cases a week or two, for some children to begin to wake to the alarm, and until that happens it is important that you wake your child, and make sure your child is completely awake before unplugging the detector to switch off the alarm. The reason why it is very important to make sure your child is completely awake (even using a cool face cloth on the face to make sure) is so that your child is aware of being woken to the sound of the alarm, and can remember the next day having been woken. This is so that there is memory developing for having been woken, and from this memory, learning will occur.
