And the kid with the loud voice genuinely isn't aware what he is doing- this is his normal. He naturally wakes up very early, tries to remember to shut his door but often forgets, forgets not to talk in the halls, and even when he remembers all the above, nihis voice can often be heard through the doors. He talks to himself, a lot. His siblings are aware he has deficits, but are tired of being woken up so early, even on vacation. Reminders from me last five minutes, maybe. Nobody's room can be moved. The other kids don't sleep well in ear plugs, and he's often loud enough to be heard anyway.

Help.

Are you in a house that you can make a cozy space in the basement or something for him to chill in in the mornings?

It's interesting that they haven't gotten used to sleeping through his talking at this point.
Have you tried putting a sound machine in the kids rooms?

Thanks. We have kids sleeping in a basement bedroom too. Plus, he wanders around the house some. Reminding him to stay in one room is like reminding him to speak quietly.

It sounds like this is a small part of a bigger issue...
I assume he can't have the basement bedroom.
Would you be willing to do quiet screentime in the morning?
Is he the kind of kid who would enjoy morning cuddles?

It's not a constant chatter. He's quiet for ten minutes, then laughs or talks very loudly, then stops, then starts. Or he is talking downstairs and then comes up. One of my kids hates sound machines. But either way, he is loud- think the voice you'd use to call from your upstairs bedroom to someone at the front door.

how early? how old? how much before the rest of the family? can he go play outside? go for a walk with whichever parent is up? get some 1-1 time running errands out of the house with a parent? at least on occasion so some can sleep in?

Have you checked his hearing to figure out why his baseline voice is so loud?

Is it an adhd type thing? Very loud voice can also be a tic.
