Many parents face challenges with toddler bedtime routines, often finding their children in different beds by morning. Toddlers, around 18 months old, begin asserting independence, leading to struggles during bedtime. They may resist sleep due to excitement from daily activities or fear at night. Common reasons include overstimulation from media or physical activities. While this behavior is normal, parents can employ strategies to encourage consistent bedtime routines and improve their children's sleep experience.
When your toddler is around 18 months, they begin to experience a phase of independence, and "No!" becomes their favourite word.
Many toddlers, including your personal Energizer bunny, resist going to bed. They don't want to leave the excitement of climbing, running, and touching.
This type of toddler resistance is normal, but toddler bedtime can be improved.
One poll reported that a third of toddlers-and half of preschoolers-regularly stall at bedtime...and many downright fight it.
