Ways to inculcate Early to Bed and Early to rise among your children
Create a sleep-inducing environment
Instead of letting the kids watch too much TV or use too much phone, get them into a habit of reading before bed. You can even narrate a story yourself if you prefer. This will lead to kids practicing a good habit of reading and getting a good night’s sleep.
Turn off TV an hour before bed
The most important step you need to take is breaking off the habit of your kid of watching too much TV right before bed. Several studies have shown that too much screen time can disrupt the levels of melatonin in one’s body. Watching TV reduces its production and thus, interferes with the sleep cycle.
Set a schedule
Make sure you set a sleeping time and a wake-up time and follow it on an everyday basis. Setting up a schedule will always help in determining a particular routine for your kid. You can give them the freedom to break this schedule on the weekends so that they don’t get bored with it on the weekdays and follow it effectively.
With kids, it is easy to add bait to convince them to inculcate good habits. When it comes to sleeping schedules, this can be done by promising a healthy and interesting breakfast. Experiment with breakfast items and try and give different types of healthy food. The excitement for the breakfast will ensure that they go to bed on time and will also wake up in time to enjoy it.
