As you listen to their squeals and little feet patter incessantly through the halls, we have a few tips to help keep your evenings calm and crazy free!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><b>Set a Wind-down Period\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sometimes your preschooler\u2019s favorite show or toy can get them riled up before bed. Whether they are trying to show you the cool move the character on the show just did or give you a detailed analysis of the utopia they created with their dolls, establishing a wind-down period is imperative when trying to calm them down. Have them clean up the toys spread around during the day or help them decide which clothes to wear for the next morning. A calm activity each night simulates a calm bedtime!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Establish a Bedtime\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Similar to setting a timer in your preschooler\u2019s mind, you must establish a set bedtime each night. This will help signal to your child the time has come to be peaceful and get settled under the covers. Have them start to move toward their bedroom by choosing their own pajamas or stuffed animal to sleep with through the night. While certain special occasions can throw this time off, try to still have something to indicate that bedtime has not changed. \u201cIt\u2019s seven o\u2019clock, so where have your pajamas gone?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Give Them Multiple Options Before Bed\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If your child has settled into bed and is still a little jumping bean, try offering fun bedtime options to settle them down. Make sure the activity is not too stimulating! \u201cTonight, you can choose to listen to either a bedtime story or some music.\u201d These options will deter a sense of forcefulness while keeping the bedtime environment a quiet and peaceful place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">By the night&#8217;s end, as you crack the door on your soundless sleeping preschooler, you will have completely forgotten the chaos that occurred only moments ago. With these tips, your days of spastic preschoolers during bedtime are a thing of the past!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kidsrkids.bvbeta.com\/riverstone\/2019\/07\/10\/getting-ready-for-back-to-school\/\"><strong>Getting Ready for Back to School<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>KIDS \u2018R\u2019 KIDS RIVERSTONE PRESCHOOL PROGRAM<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-image wp-image--no-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kidsrkids.bvbeta.com\/riverstone\/programs\/preschool-childcare-program\/?utm_source=PreschoolBlog&amp;utm_medium=banner&amp;utm_campaign=L\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-190000000261\" src=\"https:\/\/kidsrkids.bvbeta.com\/riverstone\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/190\/2020\/05\/KRKrs-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>Kids \u2018R\u2019 Kids Academy of Riverstone knows exactly how energetic your preschooler is because of his ever-evolving and curious nature!
