While it's common to hear about babies needing sleep training, it's also common to need to sleep train toddlers and preschoolers as well. It's important to know that sleep training doesn't mean cry-it-out and sleep training toddlers can be a bonding and empowering experience for your child!
The great thing about sleep training toddlers is that toddlers can communicate with you WAY more than a baby can! You can explain things to them and they will understand your words and you won't feel like you're doing something TO your child, as much as you're doing something WITH your child. You're accomlishing this sleep goal TOGETHER.
There are some things that need to be done before sleep training toddlers. Things you need to prepare ahead of time:
1. Use bedtime routine cards! Having a visual routine will help your child go with the flow of the bedtime routine. This will help your child's body trigger the production of melatonin and get them all ready to settle into a full night of sleep.

2. Reward System: Encourage your child to stay in bed all night long. When they stay in bed until their Tot Clock turns yellow, they earn a sticker on their reward chart. Once their chart is full, they can have a special treat/prize.
3. Allow your child to make as many bedtime choices as possible. Which bathroom do they want to use? Which pajamas do they want to wear? Do they want to brush their teeth before you do it or do they want you to brush their teeth for them first?
4. Get a toddler clock! The My Tot Clock can be used throughout the day for many different things so your child will really be used to seeing this clock in the functioning of their daily lives.

5. Make sure your child's schedule is age appropriate. Some toddlers still need naps and some do not. It depends on how your child is behaving in the evening and at bedtime as well as if your child is still sleeping through the night and waking up between6-8am.

TODDLER SLEEP TRAINING METHODS:
1. "Chair in the Room" Method: Sitting next to your child's crib as they fall asleep and leaving the room once your child falls asleep at bedtime. Moving your position closer to the door as nights progress until you are sitting outside the door.
2. "The Kissing Game": Laying your child down to bed and giving your child kisses intermittently as they stay in bed and lay quietly until they fall asleep.
3. "The Bedtime Pass": Creating a physical "pass" for your child to use ONE TIME each night. Your child can choose one thing they want to get out of bed for. This might be one more hug or a drink of water or a potty break. Once your child has used the pass, keep the pass for the rest of the night and let your child know that s/he may not get out of bed again until morning.
