There are no parents who do not face the problem of sleep in the child: putting your child in the bed is not always simple. Children’s programs on TV, games on a computer, the noise and nervousness of mom and dad not in the best way affect the calmness of a child, who, for the above reasons, can not always fall asleep quickly.
Since lay the child to sleep?
Try to use a few simple, but effective tips on how to put the baby in bed.
1. Leaving the child’s room, do not forget to close the door behind you. This is a very simple, but really working way. Having laid the baby in bed, just leave his room. If you begin to leave the children’s room in a hurry in anticipation of the next hysteria, the result will be negative. The thing is that most children are not at all interesting to sleep. They usually whimper when they try to put them in bed. When parents confidently and without delay closing the door of the room, the child understands that he lost, and this is where his whims end.
2. Try to make a company to the baby before going to bed. Do not spare time and lie with the baby for several minutes. Let him know that you protect him. As soon as you notice that the child has calmed down, smile, kiss him, and be sure to wish good dreams, after which you can leave the room.
3. Prepare the child for bed in advance. Sit with him before going to bed, sing him a calm song or read a fairy tale.
4. Make a ritual bed. Prepare the baby for the upcoming sleep in advance. Play games with him, read the fairy tale, you can drink it with tea with soothing herbs, then send the baby to bed.
5. You can make concessions. This is a great way if the problem of sleep is associated with the fears of the child. For example, if he is afraid of darkness, put a nightlight in the children’s room, do not close the door tightly, and over time the baby will understand that he has nothing to fear and you can safely fall asleep.
6. Promise to return to the baby. As soon as you put the child in the bed, promise that you will go to him soon to check if he fell asleep or not. Be sure to fulfill the promise and after 15-20 minutes go to the baby in the room, correct the blanket and kiss it. If the child does not sleep yet, say that you will go later again, and fulfill the promised again. The fact is that the baby will not be capricious and call you to himself, since he knows that mom or dad will definitely go to him, and this is very important for him.
7. And the last way is the most radical, which is also recommended by many psychologists. Having put your child in bed, leave his room and do not go to him for five minutes, even if he cries and beats in hysteria. Five minutes later, go to his room, wish good night and leave again. Then you can go to the child later than five minutes later. Then just increase the time intervals.
But if you want to achieve the desired result, you will need a lot of time, you will definitely not manage in one evening, so if all of the above methods do not act on the behavior of the child, gain courage and patience.
The upbringing and development of children directly depends on how much attention to this issue was paid to parents, so even such a problem as laying the baby to bed can be solved much easier if you connect love and patience to it. ��
