Creating a consistent bedtime routine for your child results in a comfortable, stable child who knows what is expected of him or her. When children are provided with a simple routine, they are able to follow it and structure their days around it. Knowing what comes next, and what to expect every day is a reassuring feeling for children, and helps them prepare for bed. A child bedtime routine also allows caregivers to ensure that the child sleeps well, which is essential for the emotional and cognitive development of your child; it also means that the child is refreshed on waking up, making school mornings much easier to handle. Lack of sleep can cause behavioral problems, inactivity, lack of concentration and disobedience.
