Plan out a bed-time routine
Average rating:
Children respond well to planned-out bedtime routines. At night if they keep getting out of bed and want to come into your bed - be firm. Gently but firmly put them back into bed without talking to them or turning the lights on. It may be a tough start but once they realise this is what happens at bedtime they will soon get used to it and you will have some of your evening left to do things you enjoy!
