Going to Sleep: Bed Time Tips for Toddlers and Children
De ir a dormir: Consejos Bedtime para bebés y niños
By Cassandra Conti

I set a goal to take a 15 to 30 minute nap in the early afternoon so I have energy for the day.
Me puse una meta para tomar una siesta de 15 a 30 minutos por la tarde, así que tengo la energía para el día.

I decide to take time between dinner and bed time to digest my food and make it easier to sleep.
Decido dar tiempo entre la cena y la hora de dormir para digerir mi comida y que sea más fácil conciliar el sueño.

I decide to prepare my brain for sleep by avoiding electronics.
Decido preparar mi cerebro durante el sueño, evitando la electrónica.

I set a goal to begin my bedtime routine 30 minutes before going to bed.
Me puse una meta para comenzar mi rutina de acostarse 30 minutos antes de irse a la cama.

I set a goal to start a goodnight journal to clear my thoughts for sleep.
Me puse una meta para comenzar una buena revista noche para aclarar mis pensamientos para el sueño.

I set a goal to read a story with my parents every night before bed.
Me puse la meta de leer un cuento con mis padres todas las noches antes de acostarse.

I decide to wear comfortable clothes and use comfortable blankets that do not restrict me.
Decido llevar ropa cómoda y tienen mantas cómodas que no me restringen.

I decide to hug a stuffed animal with my arms to feel safe in bed alone.
Decido abrazar un muñeco de peluche con mis brazos para sentirse seguro en la cama solo.

I decide to go to bed every night at the same time.
Decido ir a la cama todas las noches a la misma hora
