A consistent routine plays a big role in healthy sleep habits. To help kids sleep better, a pediatric sleep psychologist recommends trying the 5 Bs: 🍇 bite (a bedtime snack) 🛁 bath/washing up 🚰 brushing teeth 🚽 bathroom 📖 books with a caregiver
For the last one, Schneeberg said that parents should set parameters, such as a set number of picture books per night, a certain number of chapters or a specific amount of time. At the end of the allotted reading time, a child may say they are not sleepy yet but that’s what the parent can direct them to their bedtime basket. Then parents can move onto whatever work or downtime they need to do for themselves before sleeping.Kids get really creative when trying to delay bedtime, said Schneeberg.
“So we always have to find that little middle ground of a cozy routine, but one that ends when it should and a child who knows how to put themselves to sleep on their own.”To help parents limit stalling while still showing care, Schneeberg recommends the strategy of “bedtime tickets,” in which parents decorate index cards or sticky notes and give a certain amount to their child per night.
