Are you the parent of a child ages 3-10 who is not yet a good sleeper? Parents of babies and toddlers are given lots of advice to help them improve their child’s sleep, but parents of older children are often not sure what to do if their kids still don’t sleep well. Parents (with all of the right intentions, of course) often do two things at bedtime that may make their children worse sleepers: allowing too many extra requests after the bedtime routine is over, and staying with a child until he or she falls completely asleep.
