Your children's bedtime routine can be a challenging task - between tantrums, separation anxiety, and endless waking cycles. A consistent and effective bedtime routine is crucial for both you and your child to sleep through the night. Here are some expert tips on how to achieve this: Avoid screen time before bedtime Blue light from tablets and TV screens can disrupt your child's melatonin production, making it harder for them to feel sleepy. Instead, try reading a book together or meditating. Create a sleep-friendly environment Temperature, lighting, and noise are important elements of a suitable and sleep-friendly environment. Keep your child's room cool and dark to help them relax before bedtime. Prefer outdoor play Natural daylight combined with physical activities can help regulate the dreaded sleep-wake cycle. Both fresh air and movement contribute to a restful night. Try not to overload the schedule Packing too many activities into your child's day can be overwhelming. Instead, opt for calm activities, especially before bedtime, to relax your child's nervous system. Comfort your child Saying goodnight can be difficult, especially if your child suffers from separation anxiety. A calm reassurance and a familiar stuffed animal can help them feel safer.
