But actually getting our kidsintobed (and getting them to stay there) is easier said than done.
First things firstmake sure their bedtime routine is consistent.
The same study proved that a regular bedtime routine also improved “maternal mood.”
Think reading, singing, bathing, and cuddling!
Create a sleep sanctuary that they love to cozy up in.
And that starts with an undeniably comfy mattress.

If your kid keeps getting out of bedstay calm.
Each time your child gets up, bring them back to bed with minimal interaction.
Whatever you do, stay calm and relaxeda firm voice or tension can rouse them out of sleepiness.
Another idea (authored by pediatricianMarc Weissbluth, M.D.)
is to create a poster of “sleep rules"withyour childwhich include the agreement to stay in bed.
Keep bedtime a positive experience.
Even if your child struggles with bedtime, it’s imperative that it remains a positive experience.
Do your best to wear them out during the day.
