In a day the parents strongly are tired at work therefore they wishes to get enough sleep perfectly before new difficult day at night. However the child can sometimes interfere with these plans – to him is not slept, so, not slept also by adult. If there is such problem, it needs to be solved as soon as possible, the lack of a dream can badly affect health of the child.
Instruction
1. Define why the child does not wish to sleep. Perhaps, he cannot just fall asleep. It can have various reasons. Main of them – the child goes to bed in the uneasy, excited state. It happens if before going to bed the child plays outdoor games, is too active, watches TV much. In this case minimize activity of the child in the evenings. Do not allow it to run and jump, let will be engaged in something quiet – esteems, will draw, will listen to the fairy tale. All active classes need to be postponed for earlier time – if in the afternoon the kid is run, naprygatsya and plays enough, then, most likely, he will sleep like a log.
2. You watch the child's food. You should not overfeed him before going to bed. The dinner has to be at least in four hours prior to a dream and should not be too dense. If the kid asks to eat, and already late, let will drink a glass of kefir or will eat apple. The full stomach does not promote fast falling asleep.
3. If the child does not want to fall asleep because he is afraid of the dark and loneliness, help it to struggle with his fears. There is nothing bad that you, for example, will leave included in a night lamp – to the child it will be not so terrible, he will not be disturbed by monsters. If the child is afraid of some terrible being who can get out of darkness, then it is possible to organize a ritual of exile of this being. Convince the child that his monster left and will not return any more, and it will be far quieter to it to sleep. At first you can remain in the room with the child until he does not fall asleep, and then he will learn to fall asleep independently without any fear. It is possible to give to the child with itself in a bed some soft toy which will be his "defender" from all bad.
4. Consult with the doctor in case your child is not afraid of the dark, before going to bed does not play outdoor games, and you observe all recommendations. Perhaps, in an organism there are some violations.
