Bedtime is a term commonly used by parents when they begin getting their children prepared for bed. It is important to have a bedtime schedule for your children to keep them happy and healthy. Children who have proper bedtime guidelines will preform better at school. Bedtime rituals can usually be stories, nursery rhymes, and tucking children in to bed to make them feel secure. Small children usually prefer to have something to comfort them when it is time for bed such as a pacifier, a specific blanket, a specific stuffed animal or doll to enable them to sleep soundly. Since children require more rest than adults, parents usually require their bed time to be at an earlier time than they plan to go to bed themselves but, statistics show that more than 33% of children give problems being sent to bed before their parents bedtime.
