"Go to sleep, son, and stop torturing me."
Every night, countless parents sigh silently in their hearts. It's 9 o'clock in the evening, but the child is not sleepy, like a spiritual woodchuck, drilling around. Mother carefully observes the child's expression, for fear of missing the child's yawn, because the child's yawn is the gospel given by God. Finally, I waited, and then I tried my best to drag the child to bed. But as soon as he put on his pajamas, he jumped away and ran wildly for a while. Mother lay in bed feebly and had to start over. Why is it so difficult to put children to sleep?
Faced with such a situation, you certainly need a good way to end these "tragedies" that are staged every day. Now I'll tell you a secret: catch the child 30 minutes before going to bed, and everything will be solved. Now let's learn what to do 30 minutes before going to bed.
Set a clear bedtime.
If your child is 3 years old, he has enough knowledge to understand the importance of sleeping, but he just can't control himself. Therefore, be sure to set a bedtime for your child. Once set, it is the golden rule. Of course, bedtime must be scientific and reasonable. Children should not go to bed too early, and going to bed too late will also affect their health. Generally speaking, the bedtime of preschool children should be between 8: 30 and 9: 00 in the evening. Bedtime should not be changed at will, otherwise children will break the rules at will, then parents will become passive and the rules will be useless, and endless quarrels and conflicts will inevitably follow. According to the child's performance, you should give corresponding praise, reward or punishment.
Form a relatively fixed bedtime ritual
Familiar bedtime rituals can give children a certain hint: after these, it's time for me to go to bed.
Xiaoxiao's bedtime is 9 o'clock. At about half past eight, my mother brought Xiaoxiao a small glass of milk. After drinking, she washed her face with Xiaoxiao-washing her face and brushing her teeth, which took 20 minutes. For the remaining 10 minutes, Shao Xiao, who changed her pajamas, lay in bed, flipped through a few story books at random, fiddled with them for a while and fell asleep.
Children's bedtime rituals must be clear, so that children will not be confused. For children around 3 years old, the bedtime ceremony should be completed with the help of parents. When the child is older, he should be allowed to finish the preparation work before going to bed independently. It should be noted that in the bedtime ceremony, the mother only needs to remind the child once or twice that it is time to go to bed. You can't warn your child with mandatory words too often, which is likely to make your child rebellious and unwilling to go to bed. So the more seamless the bedtime ceremony, the better. When children internalize into habits, they form a good habit of sleeping on time.
Quiet the child.
Half an hour before bed is the prime time for you and your children. Using this time, you can deepen the emotional communication between yourself and your children. After a day's work, this time can let you relax. With your company, the child's body and mind can also be relaxed and let him fall asleep with a good mood. You can talk about light topics with your children and read them interesting articles. However, staying in the bedroom should create a warm and quiet atmosphere as much as possible, so as to help children fall asleep in time. Anything that makes them too excited and exciting will make their children sleepy.
If the child runs around crazily before going to bed, you should pay attention to what the child is doing. Therefore, parents may wish to ask their children if there are still unfinished things to be solved before they go to bed. If children find excuses to avoid sleeping, parents can make a list of some excuses that children often mention, such as "I seem hungry and want to eat something more", "I'm thirsty and I haven't had enough just now", "I'm afraid it's a little dark tonight", "I still want to pee", "My pajamas are too stinging" and "My little bear hasn't brought them here yet". Check the list, even if it is made up, ask it like a general soldier, and help the children gradually implement each item to avoid future troubles.
Block the passage for children to escape.
Finally, when the children go to bed and close their eyes, the family education class of the day seems to have come to an end. You want to get up and do your own thing. Is it really possible? Not exactly.
"alas!" When I opened the door, I found the child out, right behind your ass. Or you find the child in the kitchen for less than 3 minutes, "Mom, I may not be full."
"I asked you just now, didn't you say you were full?"
"I just had enough, and now I'm hungry."
"But you are hungry after only three minutes?"
"This is something for you. Can you sleep after eating? "
"yes."
Although the children promised "yes", you should not underestimate your enemy too much, because they are likely to leave the bed for the second time. The more times children get out of bed and the longer they get out of bed, the greater their motivation to stay up. What happened next was completely out of control. In order to solve this thorny problem, parents must cut off their access-the aisle to other places. All you have to do is take a chair and sit at the door of the bedroom. Children try to talk to you, ignore them until they give in. If the child gets out of bed, don't talk. You should hold the child's hand or pick him up and send him back to bed. This is not a joke, it should be taken seriously.
