If your child seems not to show any interest in reading, there is still hope. Sometimes parents have to resort to some tricks, but I assure you that even the most stubborn child will learn the beauty of reading.

1. The trick of a good night story.
One of my favorite ways to make my children learn to read is something we certainly appreciate themselves when they have children of their own. This is sent to bed before it’s bedtime. Wonder how come an increase in sleep will make your child more attention to books. Well, here’s the trick. Get them to bed fence 45 to 60 minutes before you turn off the lights in the house.

The way it works this routine is as follows. Children brush their teeth and use the bathroom. After being read a story. All this is done before the official time for sleep. Then, simply given the option. They said “now it’s time to go to bed. Do you prefer to turn off the lights or prefer to stay up and read a little?”

Unless they’re really tired, always choose some reading. I have to beg them not to read or manipulate. In fact, think it’s their own idea and end up earning much appreciation at this time to read before bedtime. Then, we let them alone. Do not try to give them instructions of any kind, or help them choose books. This is your time. May choose any book they want and read by the time they want until you get to kiss them and wishing them good night testing before turning off the light. Of course, if they want me to stay and hear them read, I am always more than happy to oblige. Try it, it works.

All newborns are, of course, different. Some sleep better than others at a young age, so that their parents are the nicknames of “lucky.” There is no doubt that making the baby sleep at night and on their own is a mystery. However, there are a number of tips to expedite the process until your child goes to sleep on their own.

To get your child to sleep by themself in a timely manner requires the acceleration of a natural transition: the transition from sleeping with the mother to sleep alone. At first, when your baby wakes in the middle of the night, crying for his mother, who is the only way he knows to go back to sleep. One of the things you have to do as a parent is help create the best possible environment for your baby to sleep by himself.

Many people naturally assume that the best environment for sleep is one of total silence: most of us are accustomed to walk on tiptoe across the room in which the baby sleeps. Although a quiet environment is best for adults, should remember where your newborn slept for the past nine months: in the belly of his mother. In the womb, of course, the baby slept in many situations that were far from silent – when the mother was acting in public or socialize with others. For this reason the baby will fall asleep more easily when exposed to a mild background noise.

If your child always sleeps holding, or by leaving a pacifier, you create sleep associations with these items. Then when your child wakes in the middle of the night, you can not go back to sleep by himself because he can not recreate this sleeping environment without you: you will need to be fed or charged back to sleep.

When you start trying to get your child to sleep by itself, you must enter items in your sleep routine that you can sleep with a blanket or a particular stuffed animal. It will achieve this is to create associations of sleep for your child with these items. Then, when you wake up in the middle of the night, you can recreate his sleeping environment without your assistance hugging her stuffed animal. It may also be beneficial the introduction of “transitional items” into the routine of your baby’s sleep: Let him have his stuffed animals or blankets during the final feeding and before bedtime, and let that take him to bed.

Whatever you do, your child will create their own associations with sleep. Their job is to try to create such partnerships with elements you can control. Giving your child as much control as possible over your dream environment, will allow you to sleep independently. The most difficult transition in early parenting is to get your child to sleep independently, and if it introduces new elements to the place where your child is sleeping, will accelerate this transition, will soon allow both you and your child enjoy a night’s sleep.
