Some children don&#8217;t want to stay in bed, while others refuse to even go. Luckily, there are several tried and tested methods for getting a preschool aged child to stay in bed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have a Consistent Bedtime<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The key to a good night&#8217;s sleep (for you and your child) is structure. A <a href=\"https:\/\/childdevelopmentinfo.com\/ages-stages\/toddler-preschooler-development-parenting\/sleep-tips-toddlers-preschoolers\/\">sleep schedule<\/a> should be enforced strictly. Your child needs to learn that their bedtime is set in stone, and no amount of arguing will change it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Introduce &#8220;Quiet Time&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Quiet time is a period starting an hour before your child&#8217;s ideal bedtime where they can unwind. Move your child away from <a href=\"https:\/\/childdevelopmentinfo.com\/child-health-news\/remembering-to-rest\/\">stimulating activities<\/a> and have them do things that will cause them to settle. Reading a book, or telling a story is a classic way to prepare a young child for bed. Ideally quiet time will take place in your child&#8217;s bedroom.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to Handle a Wandering Child<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If your child cries for you or gets up in the night, you need to be strict once more. Reassure the child with a calm voice. Tell them that this is their bedtime and they&#8217;ll have plenty of time to play tomorrow. Don&#8217;t hug the child or argue with them &#8211; you don&#8217;t want them to cry for attention in the future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reward Good Behavior<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When your child stays in bed for a full night, reward them. Your child is unlikely to get up tonight if they will miss out on ice cream tomorrow. Try to avoid using the bedroom as a place of punishment. You don&#8217;t want your preschooler to associate going to bed with undesirable behavior.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re persistent with these simple steps, your child will be sleeping the whole night through in no time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While all parents expect their child to have the occasional restless night, a preschooler who won&#8217;t stay in bed can be a serious issue.
