You can establish habits through consistency — for example, by going through
the same bedtime routine every night including bath, pajamas, singing songs and reading books, and turning out the lights.
Use
the same bedtime routine every night.
Try to keep as close to
the same bedtime routine as possible each day, on weekdays and weekends, at home and on vacation.
• On your first night home, do
your same bedtime routine to help your little one adjust back to a regular bedtime.
You can help your child by using
the same bedtime routine each night (story, milk, tooth - brushing, and lullaby).
Stick with
the same bedtime routine night after night and your mind and body will come to anticipate sleep at an earlier hour.
