[quote=Anonymous]She's almost 10, so this battle might be hard fought, but will be short won. I'd do the following: - tech devices off whenever you say (we do not allow video games on school nights but some tv is ok after dinner) - melatonin gummy if your doctor says OK, but that may not be necessary and I'd use as a last resort - routine must be followed: head upstairs at 8:45 with your glass of water and last chance for a small snack, shower, IN BED by 9:15pm and lights out by 9:45. If you try to fall asleep but can not, you may read with your bedside light on until you fall asleep. I put a water bottle on nightstand in case kid needs a water refill (it avoids more trips downstairs which leads to another snack, etc...) I'd also avoid letting her sleep super late on weekends. We try to get our DS up by 9:30 otherwise he will never sleep at night and the clock is too hard to reset. [/quote]
