What can i do if my child always becomes too active before bed and doesn't want to sleep? this last week i have been having trouble trying to put my 3 year old daughter to sleep, when it gets close to her bedtime she gets really hyper and starts crying bu

Hello. : Hello. My kids have certainly done that before. It is hard to know if she has nightmares or if she wants to stay up. I think that getting her into a routine is really important. She may fight it at first, but then it will become second nature. Try to have the same bedtime every night. This can be preceeded by a warm bath with lavendar, warm milk, brushing teeth (you brushing hers), and a small sachel of lavender near her (but not it she will open it up). Gentle circular hand movements on her back or top of head and soothing sleep songs. Even a child who is really fighting sleep, will usually surrender to this regimen. Take care.

Sleep: A very tired kid can have trouble sleeping. Make sure your kid naps in the day. Also if the daytime naps are long, bedtime is harder.
