Every parent has the same worry when it comes to beginning night time routines with their little one. Thoughts of ‘is tonight finally the night they sleep through?’ and ‘what time is best to put them down?’ are just some of the thoughts most parents share on a daily basis.
These quintessential bedtime battles impact how we complete the day with our children, sometimes leaving both parent and child dissatisfied and disconnected at a time in the day when contentment and connection are crucial to how your child experiences sleep.
Some issues may arise for parents when a nap is still needed but the length of the nap makes bedtime a challenge and therefore in this time frame-there is a lot of adjusting and refining of nap lengths and bed timing to ensure that you are addressing your child’s sleep when they are ‘sleep ready’ as opposed to over-tired, or not tired enough; both of which may result in sleep resistance.
These nourishing activities, provided in a sleep friendly context, serve to enhance the parent–child relationship and stimulate production of the sleep hormone melatonin, together with the relaxing chemical oxytocin, that all make it easier, more congruent and calm for your child to willingly and happily achieve and maintain their sleep. Effective bedtime routines are ideally 20-30 minutes in duration .
