What you do to make your child sleep?

I don't have a child but i do have cute nieces and nephew. When they are here I usually dance while humming. In that way they get dizzy. sometimes it's hard to put them to sleep especially when they get to rest in afternoon. If dancing really don't work I usually turn off the lights and scare them. love to hear them screeming.

I have a question. Do you let your niece sleep during the day. If she sleeps during the day that is why she isn't sleeping at night. All of my children were going to bed and going to sleep by the time they were 2. Try to get her on a rutine.

Hello, 2 years old and she can't sleep? wow!!! I thought a few months. My kids sleep well during the night since they were 2 months old, only if they dont feel good then they awake sometime in the night... but not stay up. well, to avoid this then you need to keep her awake during the day time and dont give much nap to her, otherwise she will up all night. I dont sing to my children cuz I am not good with this singing thing, I just put them to sleep and lay there with them until they fall a sleep. or another way, you can bring her to the doctor to see if she has any problem with sleeping. But in the mean time, you have to cut back on napping and before bed time, give her milk and full of meal... cuz after she full she will feel sleepy...

Children respond very well to physical touch to help them sleep. Gently rub your niece's arms or shoulders while you talk slowly and softly to her as she's laying down in bed. The gentle movement will calm her and the slow talking will help relax her. She'll sleep very deeply after this. Another reason some kids don't sleep at night is because they're not spending enough energy during the day. Get them out in the playground or playing in the yard during the day to use that extra energy and they'll sleep better at night.

I make my grandchild sleep by putting on her favourite music or song. It is a bit difficult to make her sleep at night because she is more distracted by tv and our talking. But when put the lights off she goes to sleep. I think your niece should have less of sleep during daytime so that she gets proper sleep at night. Putting off the lights is also a good idea.

With my two children, I've found that it is very important to develop a set routine to get them ready to go to sleep. Our routine starts with a bath to get the stink from the day off of them. Then, we will watch a little bit of TV together and have a bedtime story. We don't tell stories that we've memorized, but rather pick out a book and read it together. This both helps with bonding time and with instilling a love of reading early in a child's life. After story time we do kisses with everyone, and then it is off to the bedrooms. I try to make sure that the rooms are dark when I put the kids in, but I'll leave the doors open so I can hear if anything is wrong. My two-year-old never gets out of bed after we put him down, but we've followed this routine since he was a baby.

We don't have problems getting the oldest boy and the youngest boy to sleep usually. But the middle boy, we have problems getting him to sleep. He has severe ADHD and that is part of the problem, they have trouble with sleeping. The doctor finally prescribed some heavy duty medicine to help him go to sleep. Sometimes that works, sometimes not. So as much as I would like to say we sing him to sleep or read him to sleep, those things do not and have never worked on him and he is almost 8 years old. If you are singing or reading to him, he will never EVER go to sleep.

When my child was a baby, our best way to make him to fall asleep was to go out. It was very amazing that he could fall asleep soon when we brought him out. Now he grows up and he is five years old now. Every night we tell him stories, sing some children's songs and then play the game for a while. Then he will sleep soon after that. In fact we also let our child to tell us the stories that we told him. In fact I am running out the stories right now, too:) Let the child to repeat the story can practise his memory, speech and so on. I love China

Hi, Here are some tips to help your kids go to sleep (although I could give you better advice if I knew their ages..) 1. Keep a steady routine. Don't change their bedtime, and don't put them to bed without letting them settle down in their routine first. A good sample routine would be: 30 min. before their bedtime, help your kids into their pajamas and offer some warm milk. Give them some cuddle time/bedtime story, and then use a verbal cue (The same one every night--such as Sleep tight) so they know it's bedtime. 2. Put your child to sleep in the place they’ll spend the night. This makes a connection for your child between their bed, their bedroom and sleep that will make going to sleep there increasingly likely. Don't put them to sleep on the couch or in your bed and then move them--this can be frightening and disorienting when they wake up. 3. Once your child’s in bed, it’s crucial they stay there. Don’t give them any excuses to get out of bed unnecessarily. Make sure they have water to drink, and access to the toilet if necessary. 4. Try keeping exciting games (such as tickling or wrestling) as early as you can and finish off your play with calming activities such as jigsaws, reading stories or putting teddies and dolls to bed. Avoid computer or video games in the evenings as these stimulate your child and make sleep more difficult. I hope this helps

I think it must be happen to every parents who find difficult to make our child sleep.Yesterday,My son didn't want to sleep because he enjoy to play his new truck.So,I have to create some story and the ending the truck need to sleep too.But the thing I often doing is sing or listening his slow music from DVD.But I think,wipe his face and body with water and torn off the lamp,TV,maybe it will help.

Let them use their energy in the morning so at night, they will be too tired that the only option left is to sleep. I don't have any children yet but i think it will be effective. I learned that old people also has a hard time sleeping at night, so the remedy would be, exercising. I guess that would work to kids too.

When my brother used to live here, and her wife was kinda pregnant back then, i used to take care of their son. and when ever he needs to be sleep during the afternoon i would cuddle him to sleep. I never shared any bed stories with him, probably sing lullaby

I don't have this problem by far . My boy is half a year now and when the sleep time comes we will throw him to the bed . He would eat his finger for a while and then fall asleep very easily . Well i will play some classic music around at that time. I would sing some rhymes and stories when i'm feeding him . I think some kids are hard to fall asleep and some might get easily . Form a good habit from the very beginning and then you will save a lot of trouble.

oh, I don't get married .So I have not children .But I can give you some advice.I often play with my nephews .I think that when they were tired and they have not much energy ,they want to sleep.My nephews are naughty children .they always make their home like a playground .they take the things which are setted in drawer and closet .then throw them everywhere of home .But when they wil be tired after running .
