Bed Time Stories and Problems
It is time for bed! For parents it can have the same effect as the bell in a high school. Luiertassen in the corner and feet in the air. The day has ended and the fun hours are starting! The youngsters will go to sleep and ma and pa will eventually have some time for one another. Or is it? The truth of the matter is that bedtime can frequently lead directly to lots of frustration between elders and children. Why is this? Because the folks wish to children to drop off and the children wish to stay awake. Simple as that. In this article I'll try to give some pointers on the best way to handle this crucial 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 youngster's life is routine. Do the same things at the same time day in day out and your worries will melt away like snow in summertime sunshine rays. The second you start caving and let them do things that are not according to plan it'll backfire and the youngsters will take advantage of that.
Take my own girl as an example. She goes to bed each evening at 7pm. One night she needed 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 every single night for the previous 3 weeks and enters the living room without notice. We are now in the proces of having the door closed again but it is no easy feat. The same can be said for lights that they desire turned on. The biggest 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 bye to your privacy.
Be strict and have a routine, your kid will be all of the better for it!
