I'm having trouble getting my child to go to bed on time. What can I do?

Start by setting a consistent bedtime and stick to it every night. Make sure your child knows that the rules are the same for everyone in the family, including you. Try to keep the atmosphere calm and relaxed before bedtime, so your child feels comfortable falling asleep. Offer incentives like extra cuddles or stories if they stay in their beds until lights out. Finally, be patient and understanding when your child is struggling with going to sleep - this will help them learn how to manage their own anxiety.
