Ten ways to get your little ones to sleep tight

Thu, Mar 24, 2016

1. Set the scene for sleep. Children spend half their time in bed so it is important that their sleeping area is suitable. They will be more likely to want to go to bed if their bedroom is cosy and inviting. Aim to create a bright, cheerful and attractive space. A messy or cluttered room is not conducive to rest. Smaller children will need help to keep their rooms tidy but this guided cleaning will pay dividents in the long run.

Help them make their room into a mini home which they can fill with their own possessions. Make their beds as attractive as possible too as this will entice them to slip beneath the covers. Colourful duvets and cute pyjamas and nightdresses are well worth buying because they will make bedtime more pleasant. Leaving their bedroom door open at night may help ease the separation from parents and give them a means of communicating with you. Remember that many children are afraid of the dark so a small light or a dimmer switch will combat this fear. Some children find silence scary so it may be a good idea to have a music box or some soothing background sound to help them drift away to the land of nod.
