Human nervous system to restore strength and abilities, rest and night sleep is necessary. All living creatures are characterized by repeated cycles of “work-installation-removing”. Therefore, adults are looking forward to the opportunity to lie down to relax, and children with falling asleep often have problems. Moreover, no one voluntarily from the kids will lie in bed. At first they are capricious before going to bed, and then they call their parents or ask to drink, they urgently have a lot of far -fetched affairs, which they need to urgently fulfill. Often the child falls asleep already in complete exhaustion.
Why this happens?
During the day, there is a mother, dad, adults, other children in kindergarten or on a street platform near the day. During the day the child does not feel lonely and feels safe. Life “boils” around him. But the night comes and the baby is left alone, everyone leaves him, the games end, he feels a grudge. The child not only does not rejoice in the rest, but also afraid of him.
How to teach the baby to fall asleep on his own?
First of all, before going to bed, it is recommended to play quiet games or read your favorite book, you can turn on quiet music. No running around or noise.
Come up with a daily ritual and strictly perform it. For example, brushed their teeth together, changed into pajamas, lay down in bed and read five minutes. After turn off the light (you can leave the nightlight) and sing the lullaby, kiss the baby and leave the room. Over time, the child will fix the reflex and he will learn to let you go. Adhere to the mode, put it to sleep in the same time.
The child should feel safe, so eliminate all the sources of his fears, put his favorite soft toy in the crib. Explain that everyone goes to bed at night, both children and animals. And in the morning mom will definitely come and rely again to hug her beloved baby. Only mother’s attention will help the child easier to transfer loneliness in bed.
If you fail to help the child overcome his fears, then you can use the help of a child psychologist.
Sometimes the baby often gets out of the crib under various pretexts. Find out why he gets up (wants to go to the toilet, drink) and return it to bed again. At the same time, you should not talk to him, only laconic phrases like “Night, you have to sleep”.
Only your patience and endurance, your love and attention to the baby will help him learn how to fall asleep on his own.
