If your baby is resisting bedtime, you must create bedroom rules. You can make some bedroom rules for your children to follow strictly. For example, no screen time in the bedroom after a set bedtime, no unnecessary running around or stepping out of the room and you can add more as per your kid’s nature and lifestyle.
Ignore Requests After Bedtime
Every request needs to be dealt with before bedtime. Then, after giving a hug and a kiss to your children, try to leave their room and allow them to fall asleep on their own.
Reward Positive Behavior
When your children go to bed and wake up in the morning on time, you can reward them. This makes them feel motivated and inspired to keep this good habit going on.
For example, every time they go to sleep and wake up on time, give them a point and record this on a scoreboard. The scoreboard can be a chart on their wall. After they get a certain score, you can reward them with some gifts like a trip to the zoo or an adventure theme park. This will keep them away from troubling you with bedtime resistance.
