Parenting for most of us is not just about getting your baby a good private life insurance and comprehensive medi care plan. As the baby progresses to toddler then to preschooler stage, there are more demands and developmental issues to consider.
Putting your toddler to bed can sometimes be an exercise in frustration. Till today, after 3 years and 9 months, I’m still struggling with getting my active toddler to bed. Perhaps the mistake I make is to lie on the bed with him till he falls asleep. He will talk to me, ask for drinks, ask for more songs and give excuses to go to the toilet. An article from a child expert suggests to engage in the same activities every night, and make the time before bed quiet and peaceful. Whether a parent tells the child a story, provides a bedtime snack, sings songs, or plays quiet games before putting the child in bed, consistency is the key.
