Bedtime Rituals

You do have the power to change the bedtime ritual – but only if you are well rested yourself. Call in reinforcements if possible.
The bedtime ritual starts in the morning and lasts all day.
Physical activity is a great success strategy.
The night time ritual: Dinner with no stimulants, bath or swim, special jammies, reading/singing, low key fun in bed, leaving. Reward good sleep behaviors.
The bedtime pass.
Separation anxiety
Bedwetting
Other nighttime problems – sleepwalking, night terrors, smearing, waking at a specific time
When nothing works – get help, check medical, look for clues.
