Before you start to scold your child and resort to radical methods of persuasion, you need to understand the problem and understand why the baby refuses to sleep. Perhaps he has something hurts or is overexcited, perhaps just a little man is scared. The first step is to find out the cause, and then decide what to do if the child does not want to go to bed.
Firstly, almost all children are restless, they are difficult to make calmly play, they need to run, learn something new, do something, play, etc. And imagine that in the midst of the most interesting game, suddenly mom comes and says that it's time to go to bed. Of course, the child is unlikely to like it, he wants to play, and not sleep. Or while watching a cartoon mom also calls to bed ... The same happens during a computer game ... Therefore, parents should provide the child before going to sleep some quiet occupation that can be quickly finished. This is what you need to do when a child does not want to sleep, but it's high time.
Secondly, the same computer games and cartoons for the night have a negative effect on the readiness for sleep. The child's psyche is vulnerable, so he, even after finishing the game, still continues, as if playing, lying in bed, he will repeatedly scroll the plot of a terrible cartoon or game, be afraid of his own thoughts. Do not allow the child to go to sleep before going to bed and go to the computer, it is better to read good books together.
Some children panic fear of the dark, under the bed they seem monsters, and glare from the street lamp - ghosts. How in such a situation to help the child? Leave the night light included in his room and not leave your son or daughter alone in the room with the lights off. To laugh and play a trick on "cowardice" is not worth it, for a child this is a problem. Most likely, because of fear, the child does not want to sleep.
It happens that an overabundance of emotions prevents the baby from falling asleep, for example, on the eve he visited a lunapark or a circus, he grabbed positive emotions there, the kid wants to share them with everyone, he really wants to repeat these moments spent so much fun, so he constantly scrolls an event in the head. But a strict mother insists that it is necessary to go to sleep, but the baby does not want to yet, he is still all in emotion and ecstasy. What should mom do if the child does not want to go to bed after an interesting day? Be patient and listen to everything that the kid wants to tell, while showing a genuine interest.
There are several means to help the child fall asleep, for example, you can buy a special soothing collection in a pharmacy, just soothing a glass of warm milk with a spoonful of honey.
In general, it is necessary to know the norms of sleep for a child, since each age needs a certain amount of time. If your baby has slept for a long time, it is unlikely that you will be able to lay him in the evening early, simply, the child is not tired.
Putting a child to sleep, you need to come up with and always observe a special ritual of going to bed. It is necessary to consistently perform the same actions each time, children quickly get used to it and quickly fall asleep too, should become a habit.
Try not to rock your child from the very young age, but give him the opportunity to fall asleep yourself, so you immediately protect yourself from many problems with falling asleep in the future. Strong and healthy sleep - a pledge of excellent health.
