Putting Toddler to Bed
July 9, 2008
Does your toddler give you sleepless nights with his constant wailing and howling at night?If yes, then maybe your child is not comfortable sleeping alone. Though parents think of making their child strong and independent by allotting them separate rooms at a young and tender age, many children tend to feel lonely and scared with this newly found freedom. In addition, many children also give their parents a hard time at night as they refuse to fall asleep at the right time. You can get rid of this trouble by following some few and simple tips which can help you as well as your child to attain a healthy night’s sleep.
If your toddler is afraid of sleeping alone in a room, you should try to make the space more welcoming and hospitable by filling it up with stuffed toys so that the room doesn’t look isolated. In addition, one should try to make the toddler’s room colorful and lively and should also put some light music so that your child doesn’t feel alone and alienated. A child’s room should be such that it is secure and lively with an ability to form an affinity with the child. This depends on the varying tastes of the children and as a parent, you should decide which colors and figures are favorite with your child.
There are also many toddlers who create a big fuss while going to bed as they don’t seem to get sleep at the right time. As a parent, you need to set up a proper time schedule to make your child disciplined. By establishing a proper schedule from the child’s early age, one can prevent the incidents of sleepless and cranky nights of the child. For this, one should try to reduce the number of naps a child takes during the day-time. This would make your toddler feel tired at night which in turn would provide him with a sound sleep. Reading books or telling your child a story at night would help your child attain a healthy sleep along with strengthening the relationship and bond between the child and the parents. Thus, one should establish a proper routine so that a child gets a healthy and an early sleep as it is rightly said that “Early to bed, early to rise
Keeps one healthy, wealthy and wise.”
