Tips to Make Kid’s Bedtime Easier - Beansprouts Pre School
Create a family bedtime routine of sleeping at a particular time. Children learn things by observing. Hence, parents’ should also go to bed together to make kids follow them. You need to wind up all your tasks in time, like feeding them healthy meals, taking them for a night walk, making them brush their teach, etc., to put everything to rest 15-20 minutes before bedtime. It’ll give you time to prepare your bed, dim the lights, etc. This will work as cues for your child to get into sleeping mode.
Create Sleeping Environment
Building a proper resting atmosphere is very important for your child. The room has to be dark, quiet and temperature of the room should be reasonable to make your kid feel calm and comfortable. However, some kids like to have little light in their room, others want soft toys to sleep with, and many like to have their favourite blanket. Try to arrange all the stuff your kids are habitual of, like making them drink water and take them for a leak, wear them relaxing night dress and more to develop the cosiest environment to keep them attracted to bedtime.
Turn Off Electronic Devices
Electronic products distract kids a lot during bedtime by tricking their brains into thinking of staying awake. Remove every electronic device and gadget from your kid’s room, from television to laptops to gaming consoles. Allowing mobiles, computers and TVs in kids’ rooms gives them possible distractions, which you may not control after leaving the room. Also, put your phones on silent mode, as even if children sleep, a notification or call can disturb their sleep.
