Sleeptime

Caretaking routines associated with sleeptime and mealtime, shopping and housework—all of these are potential opportunities for children to achieve new levels of independence, or to cling to babyish ways.

Follow a set ritual that lets your baby know sleeptime is approaching, for example, a meal, a bath, a story, and then to bed (or whatever else best fits your schedule).

The hugs and kisses associated with sleeptime are noticeably absent in correction.
