Very often, having played, the child rather hard goes to bed and does everything possible also impossible to distance the withdrawal moment for sleeping, that is he begins to hide from parents, to want in a toilet, to drink. Parents have to remain completely unshakable and not change the determined dream time even if the child claims that he does not want to sleep.
As your child matures, his need for a daytime sleep gradually decreases therefore it is possible to move gradually withdrawal for sleeping for earlier time, and in general to refuse a daytime sleep. But consider that each child has a need for a dream personal, it can be different even among sisters and brothers.
To avoid possible problems with laying of the child, it is necessary to make so that his evening passed as it is possible more quietly, without TV, the computer and noisy games, and it is necessary not only to fence the child from the TV and the computer, but even from rooms where they work.
Do not limit activity and actions of the child during the day, if the child much plays enough and run, by the evening he will be tired and itself will want to have a rest.
To understand need of the child to rest, observe behind it: as he behaves if he did not sleep in the afternoon or laid down yesterday at nine in the evening. Taking into account such data and observations you will be able easily to pick up the mode of a dream, suitable for your child, and activity, slightly changing it in process of growing of the kid.
If the daytime sleep is provided in a day regimen, stack it at once after a lunch: he will easier fall asleep in the evening.
Before going to bed give it the honey tablespoon mixed with lemon juice. It not only is tasty, but also it is useful for a dream.
If the child laid down without whims, surely praise him for it when he wakes up.
What cannot be done
Do not allow it to dictate the terms and adhere to the schedule; do not punish and do not intimidate the child as it even more he will upset; do not remember his bad behavior and warn in advance what waits for it for unwillingness to go to bed.
