MY CHILD SLEEPS SO LATE!

You must have heard of parents complaining about their child going to bed late. It may be your child who drags his feet to go to bed even though he should go to bed, and makes many excuses such as I am not sleepy, why don't you go to bed or I will sleep here.

Going to bed late causes sleep disturbances in many children and, along with it, various problems. Moreover, this situation is unfortunately quite common. The child who goes to bed late in the evening has to go to school reluctantly and unhappy because he gets out of bed with the force of his family, who won't want to get up because he can't sleep when it's time for school in the morning, so his performance at school is low.

In this regard, one of the duties of parents is to be consistent and not show flexibility in the rules they set. The most important factor in making your child a habit of going to bed and waking up early is that you insist on the rules you set. He will go to bed without resistance and will not have difficulty waking up in the morning.

There may be many reasons behind the desire to go to bed late. The first of these is the feeling of fear when the child is alone in his room. Considering that a person who is naturally afraid has trouble sleeping, it should not be difficult to guess that he will not be able to sleep soundly.

One of the mistakes made while raising a child is to make the child do the things that are wanted to be done through intimidation. For example, if you don't eat your food or something, the aunt will give you an injection, your uncle will get angry or the police will take you away when you misbehave. Not imposing darkness as an element of fear is also an important factor in its compliance.

Some parents find it appropriate to take their children to bed whenever they fall asleep. This attitude prevents the formation of sleep discipline. Things get even more difficult when he arrives in bed with a split sleep, as he cannot learn to sleep in his own bed. He cannot develop awareness that his bed is where he should start his sleep.

Parents should be serious about sticking to their rules, even if their child is not sleepy. If you want to create a sleep discipline for your child, you should keep the hours you want to sleep tight and take care to be at home during those hours. In other words, if you have a schedule in the evening, you should adjust yourself according to your child and ensure that the sleep pattern is not interrupted.

If your child is very reluctant to go to bed, at first you can read to him in bed, tell stories, chat and give him his favorite toys. Afterwards, he will gain sleep discipline and will not have any difficulties.
