how do you make your kid go to sleep at night

Hi,

Here are some tips to help your kids go to sleep (although I could give you better advice if I knew their ages..)

1. Keep a steady routine. Don't change their bedtime, and don't put them to bed without letting them settle down in their routine first. A good sample routine would be: 30 min. before their bedtime, help your kids into their pajamas and offer some warm milk. Give them some cuddle time/bedtime story, and then use a verbal cue (The same one every night--such as 'Sleep tight') so they know it's bedtime.

2. Put your child to sleep in the place they’ll spend the night. This makes a connection for your child between their bed, their bedroom and sleep that will make going to sleep there increasingly likely. Don't put them to sleep on the couch or in your bed and then move them--this can be frightening and disorienting when they wake up.

3. Once your child’s in bed, it’s crucial they stay there. Don’t give them any excuses to get out of bed unnecessarily. Make sure they have water to drink, and access to the toilet if necessary.

4. Try keeping exciting games (such as tickling or wrestling) as early as you can and finish off your play with calming activities such as jigsaws, reading stories or putting teddies and dolls to bed. Avoid computer or video games in the evenings as these stimulate your child and make sleep more difficult.

I hope this helps

my little brother is 5 and had a hard time going to sleep.
but my mom gave him a glass of milk around 7:00 and then she gave him a back rub.
it comforts him & helps him mellow out.
he was asleep by 8:30 . we also turn out most of the lights in the house. my mom says it lets him know that it is time to settle down.
I dont know what your child is like, but my brother is VERY HYPER !!
maybe you could try some things that we do. hope I can help!!

You have to find something that soothes them dependin gon their age that could be a blanket or a teddy bear. But only give it to them at night. You also need to try some quiet time 30 to 60 minutes before trying to put them to bed.

well what my mom did when my sister and I were little was once the kid is in bed tell them you are going to draw something on their back(anything will work but lets say a cat)
tell them that if they make a sound it won't work then just start drawing a picture slowly and after not too long they will fall fast asleep

that worked for us lol good luck
