[quote=Anonymous]I have a dd8 who has always fought sleep since infancy. My other child generally sleeps fine. Your struggles sound very familiar and I empathize with the frustration. Here’s what helps: -Get her outside as early as possible in the morning. -no screens, dim house lights after dinner - no desserts after dinner. I moved desserts to the afternoon. -night time bath - just lie down with her- sometimes I fall asleep before she does And for me: - just plan to go to sleep when kids go to sleep - do things during their bedtime routine, like clean the bathroom while they bathe. Brush your teeth, change to pjs, wash your face, when they are doing it. Put their laundry away while they are getting dressed. - wake up early (5:30/6am) to have me time. Coffee, read, walk/run.[/quote]
