Bedtime!!!


It is very important that you push your children to have a routine bedtime. Having a set bedtime for your children will not only get them use to the bedtime routine, but it will also help you out as a parent!

There are many things out there you can try to get your child to hit the sack early, the most important thing to remember is just to do it! If your child is older having an earlier bedtime needs to become a more gradual process. Try moving up bedtime by just a few minutes every day.
Make sure you eventually make it routine...the worst thing to do is confuse your child by being loose about bedtime one night, and pushing it the next!
One more thing you should make a note of is weather your child seems to be happy with the amount of time they are getting. If they still wake up tired or are fussy in the morning it may be a good thing for you to move up your child's bedtime to an even earlier time.

If you need more information about getting your child to hit the hay early there are many parenting techniques out there...so read on!
