The problem: Your child stays up too late
The scenario: Your child's bedtime is 8:30 p.m. But by the time your child is ready to sleep, it's usually past your own bedtime.
The solution: If your child isn't tired at bedtime, daytime naps might have something to do with it. Try to keep naps at least four hours apart. And don't let your child nap late in the day.
Try to get your child to nap, go to bed and wake up around the same times each day too. Many children give up naps at some point during this time period.
