Why Do They Resist Sleep
What Experts Say
So you've had an unbelievably busy day: You took a walk, visited with Grandma, went shopping, and capped it off with a fun family dinner. Quite frankly, you're exhausted. So why is your little one decidedly not tired?
If your child is still a baby, he's not really resisting sleep. In fact, he's probably tired and wants nothing more than to conk out, but he wants it on his terms.
Translation: He's used to falling asleep in your arms or while being rocked, and doesn't want to fall asleep on his own in his crib. In this case, see our get-to-sleep strategies and find out whether you should let him cry it out. If your child is a toddler, however, it's a different story. Find out how to get your toddler to sleep without a fight.
