    I think what people need to realise is that kids have different sleep needs . Some children don't need as much sleep as the next. I currently have a very active toddler and his sleep is absolutely like nothing I have ever experienced however I'm a night owl and have always been a night owl even as a baby so modern life makes things hard with jobs and daycare and kids having to wake up at a certain time. I just don't like the idealogy that all kids should be in bed by 7 pm... Never in my life have I been in bed by 7... For some it could work but definitely not for everyone

      Totally agree with this .. by the time my husband and I get home from work, cook dinner, do bath time. It’s 7pm already!!! It’s crazy how some people can get kids to bed by 630-7… I just can’t due to time restraint .. I’d never be able to spend time with my kid if I put him to bed that early ..

    I started writing stories for my train obsessed toddler who never wanted to go to bed. Just started recording audios weekly and releasing them on youtube. The premise is that the bed turns into a magic train once they close their eyes and each time they get to travel to a different part of the world. @

      I’m having issues with my new neighbors . The dad works for 6 hours 5 days a week. He comes home at 11 pm. Smokes weed in his car and drinks beer . He comes in an hour later like around 1 pm then the kids are still up with their mother. So these kids go to bed @ 1 or 2 am every day and wake up with dad close to noon. They’re toddlers and I feel that is child abuse

    I put my 3 year old girl at 9 or 10 pm and she wakes up at 9 am in the morning. It has been like this for a long time and recently she is going to school soon and I am worry that she might not adjust her sleep routine. I am going to try some of the method you mentioned in the video. Thank you for sharing.

    Thank you for this video! My older child has always been easy to get to bed, but it has been hard for us to get my youngest (3.5 years old) to bed at a decent time. I've tried cutting out naps and/or going to bed around 9pm. She has fallen asleep around 9 a few times but wakes up after an hour and is then impossible to get back to sleep.
    I'll try putting her to bed around 7:30 and see if that helps. 🤞🤞🤞

      Ok, I tried this already last night, and it worked! I put my 3.5 year old down for bed at 730, and she fell asleep within 15 minutes! She woke up around 9:30pm, but went right back to sleep!
      Let's hope this continues!!

    Hi I have a three year old boy who, when he is on his routine of going to bed at 7 pm and waking at 7 am it usually only lasts a week or 2 at most. Then something happens and he fights his nap or bedtime, sometimes both and then that is the end of his routine. He stays up until like 9 or 10 am and then I have a hard time waking him up, because I feel guilty getting him up knowing he needs to sleep and so do I. So we end up sleeping until like 8 pm and I know that is not good, but should I just get him up/keep him up until his nap at like 10-12? Or should I let him sleep? I just don't know how to get him switched back around and keep him on his schedule and need help.
