Before going to bed, you should not remind of fears with the words "fall asleep and do not be afraid." The child will immediately remember his dreams and refuse to fall asleep. At night, it is necessary to check the child, stroke him in a dream, straighten the blanket so that he feels that he is not alone. In the morning, awakening should take place calmly, and not under the sound of an alarm clock. With the help of stroking and gentle, you should quietly wake the baby. During the day, it is necessary to provide the child with the maximum release of energy, play active games with him so that he sleeps better at night. Before going to bed, you should not arrange quarrels in the family, scream, include emotional films or music. If the child is sleeping, then you should not disturb his sleep with the TV turned on and other extraneous sounds.
