The child has to sleep at eight o clock no matter what the circumstances. This is a mistake because if the child is having fun playing, then he is forced to go to sleep, this is a kind of abuse and a lack of respect for his personality. If the child goes to sleep tense, this will be reflected in his sleep, and he will have nightmares and will not be relaxed in his sleep. Some fathers wake their child up to play with him or because they have bought a new toy for him, especially when the father has been at work all day and this is the only opportunity he has. But this is a mistake, because you are interrupting your child s sleep and it will be difficult for him to relax and go to back to sleep.
Some parents use scare tactics to make their children go to sleep.
This is the worst mistake that parents can make. Some mothers tell their children frightening stories which may scare them. This has negative effects on the child s sleep, in the form of nightmares which disturb his sleep. Some families encourage their children to drink liquids such as juice or water, etc., especially just before bedtime. This leads to the bedwetting which most families complain of.
