Don t Turn Bedtime Into A Bugaboo
Prepared by the Staff of the Child Study Association of America AP Features Wine TM they are tired children naturally want to sleep. You can find out how much sleep really needs and plan accordingly. Most children fuss about going to bed at one time or another. Going to bed means being separated from the grownups and their sun. They will keep calling you back or asking for another drink of water just to keep you company. It is a good idea to play quietly with your child for a while giving him attention. Tell him a few minutes ahead when it is time to sleep and perhaps go with him to his room. If the door is to be closed quietly there will usually be no fuss. If he wants the door left open or a light left on in the hall, give him this comfort for a while. It may be enough for him to know you are nearby in case he really needs you. Soon he will be ready to have the door closed again and he will tell you so himself. Don t use going to bed as punishment. This makes something he doesn t like. Going to bed should be pleasant.
