Many parents struggle with toddlers who refuse to go to bed. Bedtime resistance is common for children between the ages of two and three.At this stage, toddlers are developing independence. They may resist bedtime because they want to keep playing or spending time with their parents.Another common reason toddlers fight bedtime is overtiredness. When children stay awake too long, their bodies release stress hormones that make it harder for them to fall asleep.Creating a consistent bedtime routine can make a big difference. Activities such as bathing, reading a short story, and dimming the lights help signal that sleep time is approaching.Parents should remain calm and consistent. Over time, predictable routines help toddlers feel secure and fall asleep more easily.
