How to regulate the Sleeping habits for Children?

Sleep is very important for every child.  Proper rest and sleep help in the development of the child.  As a parent, it is your responsibility to help them follow a regular sleep routine as it helps for their development.  Here are a few tips on sleeping habits:

  • Regular bedtime for sleeping should be followed and maintained.
  • Prepare the child for sleep half an hour before the sleep time.
  • Let them finish their restroom, night brushing half an hour before.
  • Playtime should be finished well before bedtime.
  • Dinner time should be over well before bedtime.
  • Always stick to a particular time for bed.  If it is followed regularly, it becomes their habit by nature.
  • A comfortable bedroom is very important for the child’s sleep.
  • Their favorite characters, posters can be stuck on the walls of the room.
  • Avoiding mobile phones before bedtime is more important.
  • Loose night dresses can be worn at night for making the child comfortable to sleep.
  • Some toddlers require a lullaby to be sung and some children require few toys near them to sleep like their favorite teddy bear.
  • Storybooks at bedtime are really good.  This makes their mind and body relaxed.
  • Consistent follow up of the above makes the best sleep time.
  • Forcing them to sleep does not work more often.
