How to Get your Children Sleep on their Own | Uratex Blog

Living with children who don’t sleep on their own is an uphill battle. Especially when the kids are bothersome and noisy while awake, parents are often left reeling in despair. Some might even think of building a tunnel under the house to have their own peace and tranquillity.

To try solving the dilemma, here are some ways on how you can help your children become “Independent Sleepers”:

1. Establish a timetable.

Train your children by announcing “Bedtime” the same time every night. You can start by getting them ready for bed before (e.g. half an hour) their actual bedtime. By informing them in advance, they can put a halt to whatever activity they are doing in preparation for their Bedtime. Act out nonverbal suggestions by picking up toys to help them get the idea that play time is over. By giving extra time to get in bed, you will both experience less stress and imply a routine that should apply and be followed as a rule in the house.
