Keeping them quiet, allows them to focus on falling asleep.<BR/><BR/>If you give over to their "I'm not sleepy" then they become in charge and that's a slippery slope (smile).<BR/><BR/>I generally will stand next to my little one's bed until she falls asleep--about 10 mins.<BR/><BR/>The first 5 mins. she settles in and the next 5 she drifts off.<BR/><BR/>I answer one question and then it's quiet time.<BR/><BR/>No rolling around the bed, or chatting up a storm.<BR/>It's nap time, not playtime.<BR/><BR/>Good luck, let us know how things go!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040734.post-41954318097013513102007-09-24T16:35:00.000-07:002007-09-24T16:35:00.000-07:00Oh dear.

He may not lie on his back. He doesn't have to <I>sleep</I>, of course, but he must lie quiestly on his tummy.<BR/><BR/>It's not foolproof, but for some reason it seems to be qualitatively harder to stay awake when on your tummy than on your back!<BR/><BR/>Good luck! And if it fails, well, at least the boy's staying put!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040734.post-16257117022316187752007-09-24T06:10:00.000-07:002007-09-24T06:10:00.000-07:00very cute story/conversationvery cute story/conversationAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040734.post-87059799535878622692007-09-23T17:08:00.000-07:002007-09-23T17:08:00.000-07:00This is dangerous.This is dangerous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
