Preschoolers Bed Time Routines

Preschoolers Bed Time Routines

• Different families have different bedtime routines. What time children go to bed and how they do it depends on:
  • the age of the children
  • the family's routines
  • the family's culture.
• Some children go to sleep easily and happily, some don't and this can be for a whole range of reasons. For help when your child has a problem with sleeping call Ngala on (08) 9367 7855.
• Preschool children need long, uninterrupted sleeps - about 10 hours a night is common.
• A bedtime routine helps children relax. Dinner, bath time, stories and a special, quiet time with parents are all parts of a routine. Have a drink or food an hour or so before bed if necessary and a last trip to the toilet before being tucked in.
• Many preschoolers are ready for bed around seven o'clock. A consistent bed time is important and leaves you time for yourself or for the rest of your family.
