1. Watch their diet
Given how modern and busy our lives are, we don’t do regular fact-checking on what foods we feed our children. , it may take less time to deliver, but the lack of nutrients will lead to poor health, making you weak and lethargic. We need to think about the nutritional value of food and provide our children with fresh food, plenty of vegetables and organic options to energize and strengthen them.
2. Build their trust
Young children have a constant fear of peer pressure. Therefore, parents should listen when their child says something. It could be an example at school, or it could be a reference to their feelings at that moment. Talk positively about their fears, struggles and failures and help them face their fears. Just listening to them and encouraging their efforts can give them hope and eventually allow them to fall asleep.
3. Encourage yoga and meditation
Yoga gives the body flexibility, strengthens core muscles and is great for general health. Exercise and yoga keep children fresh and active and improve emotional regulation. Meditation and breathing exercises can help you feel more confident, more peaceful, and sleep better.
4. Pay attention to your sleep environment
Make sure your child has a good night’s sleep. A dark room, white noise, light reading, and a quiet environment can help you sleep better. It also draws your mind away from distractions and instantly relaxes you.
5. Limit screen time
Things are going digital at a rapid pace, and with so many educational and entertainment options online for kids and adults, we need to limit our screen time. Maintaining rest periods (eg, her 2 hours a day including TV and smartphone) and her 1-hour rest periods before bed will go a long way in helping your child get a good night’s sleep.
6. Put them in a routine
Getting up early, eating well, hygiene, studying, exercising, short naps, and extracurricular activities should all be phased out so your child can enjoy their day. Additionally, it is important to give them a routine so that they understand the discipline. A good sleep routine (dressing, praying, reading, sleeping) will make you feel satisfied and rested.
