Sleep Habits for Kids

Follow the ABCs: be ASSERTIVE, BELIEVE in your child, COMMIT to it.

• Best to wait until your child is at least three years old before making the crib to bed transition.
• When new bed arrives, remove crib from child's room. Do not give child more than one choice of where to sleep.
• Let your child pick out their own bedding & nightlight.
• Make bedtime earlier. Expect the process of falling asleep to take longer.
• Put a digital clock in your child’s room & establish sleep rules & wake-up times.
• Try not to let kids into YOUR bed.
• Put them in their bed and WALK AWAY. If they get up, REPEAT.

Routine. Routine. Routine. Stick to it.
Consistency is KEY.
