What should I do if my child often stays up late?

Nowadays, adults are used to going to bed late, and some are used to staying up all night, so that children are also used to going to bed late. What should we do if children often stay up late? It is very important to ensure normal sleep time every day, especially not to habitually go to bed late or stay up late. This will not only harm the child's body but also make the child unable to concentrate and unable to think well about many things.

How to help your child go to bed earlier?

The main reason for problems falling asleep is often that when we put our baby to bed at the "normal time" at night, his biological clock has not yet reached the sleep time.

1. Wake up your baby early in the morning to prevent him from staying awake for too long at night.

2. Avoid taking naps too late during the day. Keep your child awake for at least 4 hours before going to bed at night.

3. Establish a harmonious bedtime ritual and do the same thing at a fixed time, but don't drag it out too long.

Your child spends most of his time just lying in bed and not falling asleep because his biological clock has not yet reached the time for sleep. What to do? There is only one thing you can do:

Skip the time when he's in bed but not soundly asleep, and put him to bed only when he really wants to sleep. This could be an hour later than his normal bedtime, or even later. It is important that your baby not be allowed to wake up any later than usual the next morning, but be woken up at the time he normally would! After a few days, you can try moving the bedtime earlier.

My child goes to bed too late

Our children are not only early risers, but also many "night owls" - mom and dad are tired as dogs and the most important thing to do is to go to bed, but the baby is still full of energy at midnight.

Difficulties encountered at the beginning

You can write down in the previous questionnaire how long it takes your child to fall asleep from lying down. If the average is more than half an hour, you should take action. But you have to endure a little frustration at the beginning. Although your child will not fall asleep immediately during the first few nights and may be tired and cry during the day, tiredness will eventually win. Gradually, when you put him to bed, his biological clock will point to "bedtime".

The above are some of the ways I have told you about what to do if your child often stays up late. For the health of children, adults should also set a good example, go to bed early and get up early. Children learn from their parents. Staying up late often is not only a bad influence on children, but also irresponsible to their own bodies. Get used to going to bed early and getting up early to exercise, and your body will be great!
