Is your child having trouble sleeping at night? Do you have a young one that stays up much later than you would otherwise allow? Is their diet right? I have a very simple solution that works for me.
Keep them active! Even slight bouts of exercise at any capacity will improve their sleep habits and might subsequently improve your sleep habits as well.
I keep kids active in my yard.
We have a trampoline that the kids absolutely love to use.
While we use the Airzone Spring Trampoline you don't need the biggest and the best.
A mini trampoline will work for starters.
Spend an hour on a trampoline--preferably closer to bedtime (where applicable) and you will exude from your kids the necessary energy they need to release in order to fall asleep.
When used responsibly and vigorously for about an hour you will have them sleeping sooner, longer, and more sound than they were before.
I am not a believer in prescribing a pill for every supposed condition under the sun.
There are many natural ways to cure the insomnia of a child and this happens to be a method that really works for me.
I am also a fan of keeping the kids in view so that I can monitor their performance.
Bouncing on a trampoline is versatile in that it is an activity that kids really enjoy and they get quite a workout as well--it takes effort to bounce! A trampoline is ineffective if you don't propel yourself to bounce.
Have those kids blow off some serious steam and they will sleep like babies--and you can join them! Taking an active roll in the improvement of your child's activities does even more wonders for your relationship than simply getting them to bed consistently.
