Parenting Tips for Your 29-30 Month Old Toddler

Even though your child is not always sleepy, putting him to bed at the same time each night is a good idea. Parents need time to get things done and to relax after their children are in bed.

You can help your child learn to go to bed and be quiet at set times. Don’t worry if she does not always go to sleep as soon as she goes to bed. When she isn’t sleepy, let her know she can play quietly as long as she stays in bed.
