Get-to-Sleep Strategies
If your kid just can't seem to stay in bed without you, after reading to them and turning out the lights, let them know you will lay with them for five more minutes. Then count down each minute they have left with you. This helps calm them and makes them know to cherish these last moments with you. After five minutes, give them a kiss and tell them it's time to sleep. Another strategy is to let them know that you will check on them in a few minutes. Sometimes they will stay up to make sure you come back other times just knowing you will come back is enough to make them fall asleep easier.
