A set bedtime routine (bath, bedtime lotion, book, bed) and not running in my DD's room when she fusses in the middle of the night. If she fusses for more than 2 minutes or sounds truly in distress, I will check on her.

Strawni I commented on September 10, 2010 - give them proper time so that they can sleep...

LynDClutter commented on September 10, 2010 - She can't wake us up or leave her room until the clock turns 6 or later. Of course, if she is sick or scared, she can come anytime.

Just put her straight back to bed with as little fuss as possible. This can be completely exhausting for the parent, but the child learns that she won't be able to stay up for an extra few minutes. Don't even tell her off as that is giving it attention.

Talk about their day before bed and help them sleep through the night by ensuring they’re comfortable– offer a nightlight, blanket or disposable underwear if they wet the bed. Always be consistent and calm. -Dawn Meehan, GoodNites NiteLite Panel

Have a devotional on what is good bedtime behavior; Role play bad and good example of response to being asked to go to bed. Reverse roles, let them act the parent and you the kids, display the behaviors. Have rewards for the good behavior.

Have a basic routine but have up to a half hour of give in either direction. Getting them into bed when they are tired enough but not too tired Recognizing when to get bedtime rolling is an art form that takes time to master.
