How Do You Transition From a Crib to a Toddler Bed? By Chris J Thompson
Around the age of two, or perhaps after that, parents are faced with the task of their transition from the Baby crib to bed.
I will give some suggestions to help you to make this successful adjustment to the Baby on your own. But before I do, we must start with a brief discussion Baby why you may decline this change. This is not complicated. All people tend to oppose the changes. Once you feel comfortable with things, the change is not desired. Toddlers tend to behave in the same way. Toddlers are too!
People will accept change if:
1. Duration of action / behavior to a new low;
2. Old behavior / action is no longer available, and the new is the best alternative;
3. Changes literally forced upon them, and eventually become a new habit.
Clearly, the number 1 is the preferred choice with young children because they do not create chaos. Imagine what would happen if you are your Toddler the chocolate chip cookies for dessert is not a part of the celery! That's what I mean by a change that will make on its own. So, to get Toddler to move to the bed you need to get Baby Toddler to connect the many positive attributes of the new bed.
In the case of a move from a crib to bed, 2 and 3 options listed above are really the same thing. You take away that option by removing the old crib, but you do it without the agreement of the Toddler. This has caused Baby you get confused, but he finally got up this issue, and a new pattern was established.
How parents can create a situation where they actually want to move to Rock the bed? Here are some things you can try:
1) Take your Toddler bed shop. If you can get Baby you is to choose a place to sleep or yourself, then you have a better Religion that will really enjoy his new bed. People tend not to buy something they hate, right?
2) Place the new bed in the room of your child. Do not take the baby immediately went to sleep. Just leave the bed and treat it like it is only part of the other furniture. Does not even mention that the hut will be taken again, because you actually want to Rock May sleep in the bed you have no strength for that. If you understand you are making the transition and the major opposition, then you may need to remove the only trace surprise. But do not rush at this stage.
3) Take Your Baby to bed with you and sit down together or lie quietly while playing games. You can use the Toddler wooden puzzles or other form of game which is very quiet to do something. Together reading books in bed. Sitting together. Tickle Your Baby to the situation in laughter. The key is to do the things that's been so exciting feeling to be "anchored" to the bed. Anchoring is something that I teach for Toddlers Speaking Audio Course, which all parents should consider to deal with difficult toddlers.
4) Tell your child that he has a choice about where to sleep at night or at nap time. Then do something that makes the bed seem far more interesting. For example, you can give you a big Rock boy / girl cushion "if he slept in bed. It should remain a choice at this stage. The goal is to get you to select a Toddler in the bed itself.
If these tips do not work for you, then you may have to take the baby to sleep that way. But you do not need to rush the process.
Finally, if you need to remove the crib without the approval of the Baby, you can always trace them, that is broken. This works very well for my wife and I with our first child. We must prepare the space for our new baby and our daughter moved to our new room. We told him it is broken, and put the old crib mattress on the bed next to her new room in the new. He slept in it for a while, but eventually moved on to the bed itself.
