However, the reality is very skinny. Many times, children go to bed at nine o'clock, but after all kinds of tossing, they still don't go to bed until ten or even eleven o'clock. The next day, they will turn on the roaring wake-up mode. The children are so wronged that they have to get up before they get enough sleep. They get up at all times, and it's time to go to work or school. In the face of this dawdling, mother's heart is very tired.
Why is it difficult for children to fall asleep? Maybe the child is too sleepy to sleep. Yes, you are right, but you are too sleepy to sleep. When children are too sleepy, they are likely to change from drowsiness to irritability, just like the anxiety of adults who want to sleep but can't sleep, or they are more energetic when they are awake directly.
Children need a certain environment to sleep. For example, at 9 o'clock, the child is sleepy, but mom and dad just came back from work and haven't finished the housework yet. They haven't even communicated, played or read with this child, which shows that they are not bored enough. Adults don't sleep, and neither does he. So obviously sleepy, but the child still doesn't want to sleep. After a long time, children will be anxious and can't sleep.
It is very important to develop good sleep habits from an early age. Before my child went to kindergarten, I began to cultivate her sleep ritual. At eight o'clock every day, put down your mobile phone or housework, give her a bath, and then read with her, saying that you will sleep after reading a few books. After reading it, let her help turn off the lights, then sleep together and turn off the lights to sleep, which forms a conditioned reflex. At this point in time, high-quality companionship made her satisfied and fell asleep peacefully.
Cultivating a sense of sleep ritual is helpful to develop sleep habits. At that time, the child will take the initiative to say that he is tired. But every time I bring my children back to my grandfather's house, this habit will be disrupted, because grandpa has been playing with her and the TV is loud. Playing until eleven o'clock, I can't keep my eyes open and I can't help sleeping, so the environment is very important.
If the child is unwell, indigestion, bloating, etc. It will also make it difficult to sleep. This is really sick and needs to be adjusted in time.
