What should I do if my child is 2 years old and goes to bed late every day and gets up late?
First of all, combined with age, adjust the inherent idea of children's sleep, as children grow older, they no longer need to sleep more than ten or twenty hours a day like the newborn stage.
Although sleep is more important for the growth of children, mothers really do not have to compete with their children, and they must fall asleep at what point.
The most likely result is that adults are sleepy, impatient, and then start to be anxious, and even reprimand the child, and then the child is tired and sleeps, and the adult begins to regret and blame himself.
Why doesn't your baby sleep?
First of all, we must understand that children around the age of 2 are very energetic, and the demand for sleep will be much smaller than in infancy, on the contrary, it needs a lot of exercise to consume excess energy.
Secondly, for a 2-year-old child who has just gained a strong ability to explore the world, the world is too interesting, and sleep prevents him from exploring the playground, so that an energetic child, don't play, lie down, for him is a disguised house arrest.
In addition, at this moment, he will also have a special fear of sleep, because sleeping means that he has to face an unknown dark world alone.
So what to do?
First, more exercise
Provide the child with sufficient exercise during the day and consume his excess energy through exercise.
Second, shorten the nap time
Normal children will have a sleep break when they fall asleep for half an hour or an hour, at which point he will roll over and move. You can prepare some fruit or toys that he likes in advance and wake him up at this time.
Third, maintain a relaxed and pleasant emotional state before going to bed
Tell stories and play games for your kids. If the child says he doesn't want to sleep, you can say, WELL, we don't sleep, we just lie down and close our eyes and rest, and your acceptance will make the child more at ease.
Fourth, readjust the biological clock
Wake him up ten minutes early every morning, and a week later he can have a new body clock.
