But before the child can become accustomed to such situation, there will be obvious resistance behaviors of children at such age. Such behaviors, if continues for some time become a nightmare for the caretaker and a real health problem for the toddler.
Toddlers are generally sleep resisters, with all types of excuses for not willing to retire to bed. They can make bedtime a real battlefield for several reasons. They can cite such reasons as darkness or night time fears, while at other times they claim they have other problems like teething, sleep apnea or even well as ear diseases.   The toddler can still develop a fondness of saying “no”, hence become resistant to almost everything they are told. A toddler would resist retiring to bed when they have the notion of not wanting to miss out on the fun and the warm company the other members are enjoying when they are all alone in their boring beds. Fighting off sleep is part and parcel of the toddler’s effort to hang on and have some control over their lives as they continue to spring up. Despite the child’s behavior and resistance to your appeals, you as the caretaker should not just give in like that.

But if leading the toddler to go to bed can be a bad idea, it would be convenient to make it appear as if it is her own idea. This can be achieved by letting the toddler gain some control over her bedtime routine. As the care giver, you should let the toddler have chance to select stuff to play around with and accompany her in the play. In addition to this, you should aid her to move around, thus make her feel accompanied all the time. Such would help her to corporate when time for going to sleep comes.  It is good to be sure on the decisions you will make regarding such points before the time for sleeping comes.

It would be a good practice to set a tone with a nice conversation regarding the day’s activities as well as a warm sweet shower. While keeping the lights dim, give a soothing massage with some lotion a trial. Sing to her some sweet lullaby songs while giving her a warm kiss on the pecks. This should happen as you hold her warmly. Such an approach would help her feel that she is not all left alone or forced to something she doesn’t want. In case you hear some pitter-patter of her little feet, then you ought to return to her bed, this time quietly and calm, although this might take longer than expected but would make her lose the battles. In times the child would be asking or indicating to you that stay with her on her bed, you will have to take extra time as you tuck her in.
As you read stories for the toddler, make sure you include kisses and snuggles. Always include a calm and sweet talk before you turn off the lights. Remember not to ever pull an argument concerning your not staying up with her. You ought to say goodnight to her and make sure that you can hear her from your room so that you can always attend to her when she needs you. This would help in avoiding a separation anxiety. Before leaving her room, there is always a need to ensure that you have set the night-light. Set a limit time on how many times you will return to her bed and set the room conditions as per her demands in order to make her much more comfortable. As time goes on, these visits will become short and boring, with no singing, cuddling or chatting, this would make the toddler realize that you are no longer budging, hence her calling for encore will come to an end. The more she gets used to the situation, the more she will be willing to go to bed on her own.
