For young children it’s likely that they will wake up on their internal clock’s schedule. As such, parents lose additional hours of precious sleep, which is already in short supply. 

eg. Kid normally wakes up at 0630. They will wake up at 0530 which will feel like 0430. 

Also applies to falling back but reversed.
