Does it take you over two hours to get your children down for the night?
Here are some SUPER TIPS on how to make BEDTIME BLISSFUL rather than
unbearable.

By Tracy Mayor for Completely You
Sponsored by Paragard - Intrauterine Copper Contraceptive

You've brushed, you've washed, you've played the tickle game, read
"Guess How Much I Love You" three times through (once in the silly
voice), found the pacifier, the blankie and Mr. BooBoo, and said
goodnight to the dog, the cat, and the beta fish. With one last kiss,
your child is finally tucked in. Only problem: it's more than an hour
past bedtime!

Bedtimes can become so long and drawn out that somebody, sometimes even
Mom or Dad, is in tears by the time it's over. But it doesn't have to be
that way, pediatric experts say.

First and foremost, parents should remember that children need sleep for
healthy growth and development. The process of falling asleep is learned
behavior, which parents can and should teach their children, just as
they teach them to eat with a spoon or catch a ball. Done right, a
simple, uncomplicated bedtime routine signals sleep to a tired child
just as much as a high chair and bib signal dinnertime.

Children have an inclination to fight bedtime, simply because they don't
want the day to end, acknowledges Jane Nelsen, EdD, author of the
Positive Discipline series of parenting books and Web site
(www.positivediscipline.com). Parents can best defuse that power
struggle by establishing a consistent bedtime routine and then sticking
to it.

"Be kind, but firm," advises Nelsen. "Decide how much time you want to
spend on bedtime in total, then divide activities into what you need to
do and what you'd like to do." For most families, bathing and
teeth-brushing are on the "must do" list, while a game of checkers, a
few lullabies in the rocking chair, or a story are nice, but optional.

A bedtime chart is a wonderful way to neutralize fights and keep the
good-night process on track, Nelsen says. Even young toddlers will
respond to simple pictures -- a rubber duck for the tub, for instance.
And older children, who help make the chart by drawing pictures or
writing simple words, will feel more in control of the bedtime process.

Then it's lights out! For kids who dread that moment more than any
other, Nelsen advises recruiting a special stuffed animal to stand watch
at night, giving a special safety kiss in the palm of the fearful
child's hand, or even letting older kids stow a small flashlight under
their pillow to demystify dark corners.
Some other sleepy-time tips:

�Even the youngest of babies can learn to self-soothe, a necessary
lifelong skill. Rather than letting her fall asleep in your arms, try
putting your baby in her crib or bassinette while she's still slightly
awake.

�Nursing infants can confuse bedtime with snack time if Mom's the one
doing the cuddling. To settle fussy babies, send Dad to the rescue.

�Give older children choices, albeit limited ones, to make them feel
like equal partners in the bedtime routine. Ask, "Do you want me to read
you a book or sing you a song tonight?"

�Don't confuse bedtime with special time. If you find yourself cramming
too many activities into the last hour of the day, make room other
places in your schedule (mornings, weekends) to bond with your child.

lives north of Boston with her husband and two sons.

MOTHERHOOD QUOTES

Life is the first gift, love is the second, and understanding the third.
- Marge Piercy

As a child you never quite understood how your mom was able to know
exactly what you were thinking... Sometimes Mom would know what you were
thinking before the thought entered your head. 'Don't even think about
punching your brother,' she would warn before you had time to make a
fist. - Linda Sunshine

Nothing has a better effect upon children than praise.
- Sir Philip Sidney
