As a parents you have to create one essential routine that you follow every evening, that routine is what I call "The Pre-Game Ritual" or a simple bedtime routine that preps your child for sleep. The routine you set, however, must be very specific. You must follow what's called A Muscle Memory Routine in order to create a sleepy time ritual with your child. Simply by following the same routine at the same time every night, allows your child to say these magical words: "I'm sleepy, mommy". You must first be warned about the #1 mistake some parents make when it comes to putting their child down for bed. It's a mistake that can lead to your child waking up crying in the middle of the night, exhausted children taking over your bed and frustration-filled mornings. You must avoid allowing your child to get out of his or her bed during the night and we go into the details why inside the book.
