I'm at my wits end.
My 5.5 yr old son wakes up early and gets to everything. And touches everything.
From snacks, to my office supplies to craft things.
I've locked things up, finds other stuff, I've made a positive chart, hasn't even tried once. I've given him toys and new stuff to play w in his room, no help.
I've threatened and followed through of locking his door. (I didn't put the lock on tight and he knocked it down and continues to go through things)
I've lost a lot of important things from this.

He only does this in the very early am. He is a great boy otherwise, an amazing boy.

Any one have any suggestions? I'm really at my wits end.
He just destroyed like 2 weeks of school prep for my classroom. Banging head

Thanks

Mostly not. Its mostly early in the morning when everyone is still asleep. I started asking him to come wake me up right when he wakes up.
