What are some tips for getting your child to sleep?

We all know that children nowadays are rather naughty, and coaxing children to sleep is especially a very headache problem, and many mothers do not have a good solution. Now let’s analyze in detail the techniques for getting children to sleep.

First of all, calm the child down and talk to him/her in a soft voice. You can talk about anything, but it is best to talk about something suggestive, such as: Baby, we are going to sleep, sleep will help you grow weight, etc. Tell him/her that it is time to go to bed. Don't think that the child is too young to understand. Even the youngest baby can feel your tone and atmosphere. When the child is a little calmer, you can hug him a little tighter and let his legs on your legs. He will feel more comfortable and safe. If the child is not happy, it means he has not calmed down yet. Go back to the above step. If he can accept your hugging him tightly, it means he is a little sleepy. You can gently pat his buttocks, or gently stroke his head with your fingertips. You can try it yourself. This feeling is very comfortable. Start from the back of the head and slowly move to the forehead. If you start from the forehead, the child will not be willing to close his eyes. So gradually transition from the back of the head to the forehead. After about five to ten minutes, the child will become tired. At the same time, you should pay attention to controlling your own breathing and be steady. Never let the child feel your impatience, otherwise the above method will be ineffective. At this time, if the child is still unwilling to close his eyes, you can consciously slow down the frequency of your blinking, as if you are sleepy or want to sleep. Note that you should let the child see this expression of yours. The principle is similar to hypnosis. In the above steps, you should always feel the frequency of your child's breathing. You will feel which step the child is in, and control your own breathing and heartbeat frequency. The baby can feel your calm state. Generally, you cannot coax the child to sleep well, which is caused by the adults' own impatient and irritable mood.

In fact, children are generally easy to deal with as long as you have patience. I hope mothers will have enough patience. At the same time, the sleeping time of children of different ages is different. Don’t let children sleep too much as this is not good.
