What puts your kids to sleep?

[cowgirlx]

Can you fall asleep as soon as you turn the lights off?  Because i can't.  Children are just little people, they need to unwind too.

I have a 2 year old daughter and she has the habit of wanting to sleep with me.... then I have to take her to her bed in the middle of the night.... What advice do you have for me... I've try a hot glass of milk... bedtime baths with lavender and bedtime stories.... What Should I Do....

Valium...lol just kidding of course. I have always let my son watch a half hour of TV at bedtime. After that he falls asleep fast.

while they're laying down, tell them about your day in a boring low voice. seems to do the trick for my sibs.

i now this is wrong ,, but my kids have tvs in there rooms, so i have them go to bed early and they lay in bed and watch tv, and usually about half hour later they are asleep ..

I had the same problem with my oldest daughter. We put her toddler bed in our room right next to our bed. After a while we moved her bed into the opposite corner of the room.  When she adjusted we moved her bed into her room and would sit with her for a couple min till she was settled in.  It takes a while, hopefully someone else can suggest a faster idea. I did work though. good luck

let them play outside! they come in, eat-watch a little tv-and they are out!

i just turn on the tv and turn a talk tv host on and they end up falling asleep. or put a talk radio host on and it ends up boring them to death so they fall asleep

Both of my babies relax with a warm bath using bedtime bath and lotion.  After their bath, the 2 year old has a small snack and the baby has his final bottle and both are down for the night!

To reply to the original post. MOVIES. Preferably Disney movies. Works like a charm.
