Sleep Tips from Elizabeth Pantley, author of The No-Cry Sleep Solution

Tips that both improve your child’s sleep,  daytime mood and your own sleep and outlook.  For example: # 8 Teach your child how to relax. "Many children get in bed but aren’t sure what to do when they get there!"  Check out all these tips at Tummystyle.com.  And to add one more suggestion of my own - I’ve found the best way to deal with the inevitable “can’t sleep – sleep with you?” is to place a time limit and reinforce the expectation that my child is heading back to their own bed. “Would you like to cuddle for ten minutes” – even though they obviously can’t tell time – seems to greatly reduce the arguments when we head back to their own bed.
