Our boy turned two and during the last weeks he has trouble falling asleep. He always went to sleep at 9 which was already late. But now he just doesn’t fall asleep sometimes until 11.
Even when we try to bring him to bed at 8 it takes also two to three hours for him to fall asleep.
He only let’s his mom bring him to bed and then she stays there with him until he falls asleep. Sometimes he asks for me additionally to join and then he rolls in the bed kicks us, climbed on us and so on because he can’t fall asleep.
More often than not we fall asleep first and only then he falls asleep. He doesnd go out of the bed or anything just can’t fall asleep.
Any tips what worked for your children?
It’s a tough age. I remember the struggle all too well, and many nights I fell asleep before my kid did. I’m not sure if it’s their chance to control something when so much of their life is out of their control at this age. Hopefully you can find something that works better for all of you
