Parents are always on the balance between their role as parents and guardians really happy, healthy and with children. It can be very difficult for a parent, what to do and what to do if your child has behavior problems and she does not go to sleep.
Although children need about 15 minutes transition time fully adjusted and ready for the evening, children at this time to act and put unrealistic demands to their parents. He or she will “tyrant”, like bedtime and the needs of 12 stories, 252 kiss, and he or she can not even leave the room.
Here are 3 strategies for bed time routines, if your child is more than 15-20 minutes to settle down and go to sleep.
The first is to ensure that you have your child at least 10 minutes warning before going to sleep. It is useful to use the TV as a natural ending time. You can tell your children “after this show it is bed-time”.
Secondly, after the show, you should ensure that you do not allow them get a chances to “get out” of going right away. Things like “I’m hungry, and I’m thirsty, or I have to go to the bathroom for a third time” can be legitimate request. However, it is best that the child doesn’t eat or drink anything at least 30-40 minutes before bed.
If you child insist on reading a story allow them to pick one or two stories. The total amount of time to read a child must be between 10-15 minutes. Longer reading times than that can cause power struggles and especially when they are afraid will be used as “ammunition” to keep you there.
In conclusion, also remember that your child tends to do what works. So the simplest way to change his or her difficult behavior during bed time is to not make his or her strategy work anymore.
