Help you Autistic child get a good night sleep!
Sometimes, being uncomfortable, autistic children tend to have trouble sleeping. The first rule to avoid this: sleeping medication should be your last solution!
Here are some simple tips you can do to help your child get a good night sleep:
– Don’t give your child anything that might keep him awake such as caffeine or sugar and avoid any type of stimulating activities such as video games or watching TV one hour before bed.
– A good routine will help him sleep! Create a bedtime routine for your child: give him a bath, read him a story and tuck him into bed at the same time every day!
– You can help him relax, maybe with some soft music or a gentle massage.
– For severe cases, you can check with your child’s doctor for any supplements that are safe to give to your child.
And remember to provide your child a calm and dark space to sleep in so there will be no distraction or anything keeping him awake!
