Whenever setting boundaries is challenging, remember this: kids actually crave limits. By maintaining clear limits, you’re letting them know what to expect, which helps them feel safe and secure. If the expectations keep changing, they may feel uncertain and be more likely to test you. So, try to stand firm.

Tips for setting limits to promote good sleeping habits:

  • For toddlers: If you’re working on independent sleep, be consistent by bringing your child back to their room every time they get up. Reward the behavior with something they enjoy. For example, if your child stays in their own bed for 1 night, they can earn an extra bedtime story the next night.
  • For toddlers and younger school-age kids: Offer a limited number of “bedtime passes” that can be used for water refills, questions, toy requests and all of the other creative reasons kids come up with to get out of bed. When the passes have been used, they’re gone until the next night. (But, of course, use your judgment to make any exceptions, such as using the bathroom.)
  • For older kids and teens: Try plugging phones and other devices into a family charging station 1 hour before bedtime—no exceptions. And instead of relying on phones for alarms, try going old school with an actual alarm clock.
