[其他] 怎样让孩子早点睡觉？

Follow these tried-and-true strategies:

•  Set a reasonable bedtime, and enforce it consistently. If you periodically give in to your child&#39s requests to stay up later, he&#39ll try every time.

•  Establish an evening routine, maybe a bath followed by a story or two. This gives your child a chance to wind down and signals that his day is over. You can make the ritual fun -- something he can look forward to, such as stories or games or simply time alone with you -- but keep it quiet so he doesn&#39t get keyed up.

•  Give him ample warning. You can tell your child that bedtime is in 30 minutes. If he doesn&#39t have much of a sense of time yet, set a timer or tell him that it&#39ll be time when a certain TV programme is over, for instance.

•  Make his room a pleasant place, with his favourite stuffed animals and a nightlight if he wants one. The more inviting his bedroom, the more he&#39ll want to be there.

•  Give him some control. He can&#39t decide when he&#39ll go to bed, but he can decide which pyjamas he&#39ll wear or what book he wants to read (even if it&#39s the same one night after night).

•  Anticipate his needs. If he constantly asks for water at bedtime, place a cup on his bedside table. Before you leave his room each night, ask if he needs anything else.

Deal with his fears. If your child has trouble separating from you, be sure to tell him that you&#39ll be nearby and will check on him. It&#39s important for him to feel he can count on you to see that he&#39s safe, even if you&#39re not with him every second.

Don&#39t worry if these strategies don&#39t take hold right away, particularly if you&#39ve never set a bedtime routine before. It might take a couple of weeks for your family to settle into the routine. In the meantime, be understanding but firm about sticking to it, even if it&#39s not convenient for you. It might sometimes be easier to let your child fall asleep on the couch while you watch TV or read a book, but you&#39ll be better off in the long run -- and so will your child -- if he has a regular routine.
