I need a bed time routine for my 2 year old. She goes to bed at night anything from 21h30. She has a very strong will and wont go to bed unless we go. She also dont want to sleep alone and do sleep most of the night in our bed. Please help
i'm a company believer in 'each and every baby is diverse.' i understand because my 1st daughter is an similar.... i might want to under no circumstances tell her its time for mattress and characteristic her pay interest. she falls asleep on the sofa then ill take her to mattress. at 1st after I did that, if she may awaken contained in the nighttime (which replaced into like various nighttime!) she may be hysterical until eventually she replaced into with me in my mattress. now she falls asleep on the sofa (I even could winde down the finished domicile eg. turn off light fixtures, turn down television etc) so it replaced into useful and relaxing, i placed a teach that she like (so she will manage to get comfy) and go away her or sit wit her. she will manage to doze off that way. now she is popular at the same time with her mattress is her mattress she will manage to stay there all nighttime. that matches me positive. extra effective that formerly with each and each and every of the screaming and shouting... that in basic terms replaced into so puzzling because of toddler. i extensively utilized to apply her room as her 'day out' considering that i ended hat she will manage to sleep in her room reliable success! i'm hoping issues get extra effective. p.s. i watch supernanny thousands and it supplies me loads of concepts along with the naughty chair. it reall works!!
ideally a routine would have been started before now but its not too late, you just have to be really commited cos the first couple days will be hard. I would suggest bath, story which should be read in bed and then lights out. when your little one gets up, take her hand and lead her back to bed saying 'its bedtime now'. second time lead her back and firmly say just 'bed' third time say nothing but put her back to bed. every time she gets up just say nothing, get her back to bed and leave immediately without speaking to her. be prepared for this to go on for maybe a couple hours if she is really strong willed. on the other hand she might give up after just a few times if she is clever and believes you will stick to your guns. the second night repeat the whole process, it shouldn't take so long as the first night and will take less time everytime therein. it rarely takes more than 4-6 days for children to settle quickly if you really stick to this
