Additionally, you could go ahead and wake them up earlier in the morning as well.<br /><br />Avoid videos late in the day as these can make children hyper after viewing.<br /><br />Keep the same rituals and routine of bedtime, something like: 1. clean up toys; 2. snack (I've read calcium sources are calming--yogurt, milk, etc.); 3. bath; 4. story (read in a slow, boring monotone) and prayers.<br /><br />You might also try a little time of back rubbing or other physcial touch which can also be calming.<br /><br />Good luck!Carolnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5394843788412218075.post-77645418031959839002009-09-21T19:55:23.558-04:002009-09-21T19:55:23.558-04:00Hey Pressley!

(And this can work with #2)<br />2. use the ticket system. They get a number of tickets (say 2 or 3 to begin with(and for them it would be for the room, not each girl). Each time they get out of bed, take a ticket(keep them on the fridge(move from one magnet to the other)) and just calmly send them back to bed. If they use all tickets and get up again, let them know that and their consequence will be enacted. That needs to be something for the next day, like a playtime, treat, or going to bed earlier. (we did 15 minutes earlier for each time after the 2nd ticket)<br />Not foolproof, but can be a start. Hope this helps and we miss you!Mistyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03015902434684620616noreply@blogger.com
