Give the incentive of a special weekend outing if he is ready for bed on time all week. Give more attention. Help your child look forward to bedtime as a special time to be together. Read a second bedtime story or have a good talk. If he doesn't want you to leave when it is time for him to go to sleep, remind him that you will have more time together the next day.
Kids fall asleep when their body temperatures drop.
They wake up when their temperatures start to rise. Your child will be tired and more apt to go to sleep earlier at night. Cover her with another blanket to raise her body temperature. Play music, and turn up the volume every fifteen minutes. Give her a glass of juice to raise her blood-sugar level.
