The dream is necessary for each person, especially the growing organism. Not for nothing in preschool institutions a certain interval of time is taken away for "quiet time". Experts claim that kids grow in a dream as at this time in a hypophysis growth hormone is produced. Some children flatly refuse to fall asleep in the afternoon, exhausting also themselves, and parents. Actually to accustom the child to sleep in the afternoon not so difficult.
Instruction
1. Naturally, do not forget that eventually need of the child for a dream decreases therefore the day regimen will change with age. Sensitively you watch that how many in general in day is enough for your kid for an active, mobile way of life. If after a lunch dream you noticed that the child is sluggish and inactive, he yawns and is capricious, so a dream in the afternoon to it there was not absolutely enough.
2. Remember that duration of a dream of the child, as he falls asleep, directly depend on a condition of his nervous system. In case the kid is easily excited, hard keeps within, so you need to consider it. Adjust the child on a dream in advance, avoid outdoor games with it. If the kid is excessively overstrained, perhaps, it will become much more difficult to it to be adjusted on a dream.
3. Read the kid the book before going to bed or tell the fairy tale – depending on his preferences. Some children just like to fall asleep with mom a row, holding her by a hand. Do not overfeed the baby during the lunchtime, otherwise it can not fall asleep. Let's drink to it its favourite drink (fruit drink, juice, tea, compote).
4. Create favorable conditions for a dream. You watch temperature condition in the room, exclude possibility of loud sounds (phone, the intercom), at least for the period of falling asleep of the kid. Everything has to promote a quiet dream around.
5. Be not nervous if the baby refuses to fall asleep. Do not abuse it as the kid can have a direct associative interrelation between negative emotions and falling asleep. Stroke gently the kid, then you can pretend that you fell asleep. This maneuver acts on many, and from hopelessness the child will make the same. You can talk to it and explain to him that it is necessary to sleep in the afternoon for his health if he already rather adult and understands the speech of the adult. Think up some ritual that the child already knew that time approaches a daytime sleep and perceived it as due.
