Why won’t your kid go to sleep?

Bedtime battles are no fun for anyone. Not you, not your spouse, and I guarantee that your kids aren’t enjoying them either. These tend to be more of an issue in older kids (2 years of age and up) Here are some common causes of this.

1. Bedtime resistancewhich can range from the insidious curtain call to the full born tantrum.
2. Inappropriately early bedtimesare also common. Some kids just aren’t ready to fall asleep at their current bedtime.
3. Night time fearsare also common. Sometimes it’s tricky to sort out the different.
4. Restless leg syndrome: I had it as a kid. If your child complains about leg pain at night, yours could too.
