Bed Time Stories And Woes

It is time for bed! For mothers and fathers it can have an identical effect as the bell in a high school. Luiertassen in the corner and feet in the air. The day has finished and the fun hours are beginning! The kids will drop off and mum and dad will finally have a little time for each other. Or is it? The truth of the matter is that bedtime can frequently lead straight to lots of disappointment between parents and children. Why is this? As the folks want to children to nod off and the children need to stay awake. Straightforward as that. In this piece I'll try to give some pointers on how to deal with this vital point in the day.

Schedule

Create a bed time schedule and stick fast to it. One of the best things you can introduce in your kid’s life is routine. Do similar things at the same time day in day out and your troubles will melt away like snow in summer sun rays. The second you start caving and let them do things that are not according to plan it will backfire and the kids will exploit that.

Take my personal girl for example. She goes to bed each evening at 7pm. One night she wished to have the door open because she liked to hear our noises down below. We thought: ah well. And her door was open. The result is that she currently sneaks down each single night for the last 3 weeks and enters the living room without warning. We are now in the proces of having the door closed again but it's no straightforward feat. The same may be said for lights that they desire turned on. The worst mistake you can make as a parent is to let your kid sleep in your bed. Do that once and you are able to say so long to your privacy.

Be harsh and have a routine, your kid will be all of the better for it!
