About a month ago, we started a new bedtime routine with Reagan because we were struggling so much to get her to sleep. Not to bed - sleep. So we put some classical music in her room and I started working with her to learn how to relax. It is definitely an skill. She fought me for a while, but now I think she's starting to get it.
We cover her up and read only when she is still and calm. It works most of the time. Sometimes she just can't unwind at all. Those nights I just walk out and not worry. But most nights, she will relax. I was really encouraged tonight when she asked me to read and rub her back. She's starting to get it.
