Here's a way to naturally train their bodies to get the rest that they need....
HOW IT WORKS: First, determine a bedtime. Our kids go to bed between 7:00 pm. and 8:00 pm.
HOW TO DO THIS: What you need: A digital clock A piece of paper (I use index cards. You can use anything!) Tape Marker or crayon
WRITE JUST THE HOUR of the time you want the kids to come out of bed on your piece of paper. Write it big (a little bigger than the number on the clock). 6:00? Write 6 7:00? Write 7.
Now tape that paper over the MINUTES on your digital clock so that all that you are left seeing is the hour and the paper.
As with anything, you need to remember that you have to TEACH your kids this new rule. You can not expect them to sleep until 7:00 tomorrow, just because you started this today.
Give it a week or two and you will have them sleeping later.
