 | I know it's frustrating. My son is 19 months old, doesn't have trouble sleeping at night, but sometimes has trouble settling down for a nap. It is frustrating when all you want is some sleep, but your child won't. Getting made won't solve anything...when I have gotten angry and yelled at my son for not sleeping, it only upsets him which makes it more difficult for him to sleep. Try just comforting him...or just ignoring him unless you feel he is in some physical danger. I've found that sometimes at night, the more often I go in my son's room, the more difficult it is for him to sleep, whereas if I just leave him, he fall asleep much more quickly.
How often does have trouble napping? Is he maybe ready to give up his nap? I've read different books that say different things, but each child is different.
Hope this helps. |
