how do I make him sleep longer? I cant be putting him to bed before 7, but 10 hours of sleep is apparently not enough for him. im not worried about him being up when im still sleeping. hes very self-suffiicient and will take crayons or some toys (and wake up one or more of his siblings if he needs company). the issue is that I think he needs more sleep. any ideas?

you can't make anybody sleep longer ... he's obviously looking for a worm to catch

He might just need to use the bathroom, so gently instruct him to use the bathroom and then go straight back to bed, tucked in well. The first few times you might need to guide him through the process, but then things should fall into place.
