After the holidays, children usually have a regimen. Louise Istomina, pediatric medical psychologist at the European Medical Center (EMC), says to reinstate this requires resorting to walks, rejecting bedtime cartoons and games, and making a gentle change to bedtime.
“Change your bedtime and wake up 20-30 minutes earlier each day. For example, if a child goes to bed at 23:00 and gets up at noon, try to put him to bed at 22:30 on the first day and wake him up at 11:30,” Istomina told socialbites.ca.
It is also important to include calm evening walks in your life: fresh air will help prepare the body for sleep.
“You should not play computer games or watch cartoons at night: it stimulates the nervous system and prevents falling asleep,” said Istomina.
