my daughters never sleep they are nearly 6 what an i do?

Question

it can be as late as 11 o'clock before they fall off to sleep even though i wake them up at 7 every morning

Answer 1

My brother is the same way. He wakes up at 6 every morning, no matter what time he goes to sleep. Kids have way too much energy. Just try to keep them active during the day and tire them out a little bit.

Answer 2

tough one here...

If they get up good for you in the morning then I would say dont worry about it. If they dont get up for you in the morning without a fight then try having them do some type of physical activity an hour or two before bed time then when it is bed time make sure there is not anything distracting from thier sleep, such as TV etc...

I believe that we all are born with natural clocks in us and we all have different times that are the most natural for us to be asleep. It is unfortunate that we have to conform to society and go against this. I know for me that if I could sleep from 2 or 3 am until 10 or 11 it would be awesome. No matter how tired I am I have a hard time falling asleep any earlier.

Answer 3

Cut off whatever they are doing to entertain themselves. If you have no control when they are 6, what are you going to do with them at 16? Watch some Nanny 9-11 episodes and take notes. You need to learn how to discipline them in a positive way.

Answer 4

Insomnia (sleeplessness) is due to stress, dietary and medical
problems. By making small lifestyle changes like having a fixed
daily routine, relaxing and eating properly, insomnia can be
cured. I found the information at http://tinyurl.com/jfzpz useful
for getting sleep.

Answer 6
