Helping a two years old falling asleep (piefed.jeena.net)

Our boy turned two and during the last weeks he has trouble falling asleep. He always went to sleep at 9 which was already late. But now he just doesn't fall asleep sometimes until 11.

Even when we try to bring him to bed at 8 it takes also two to three hours for him to fall asleep.

He only let's his mom bring him to bed and then she stays there with him until he falls asleep. Sometimes he asks for me additionally to join and then he rolls in the bed kicks us, climbed on us and so on because he can't fall asleep.

More often than not we fall asleep first and only then he falls asleep. He doesnd go out of the bed or anything just can't fall asleep.

Any tips what worked for your children?

Maybe he just needs to spend more energy. Going outside does miracles to sleep.

He obviously yearns for the mines.

Yeah, that is also a good idea. Today we were outside two times, once during lunch and then at 5pm and he was sleepy at 7:30, so we gave him a bath and put him to sleep, but then it took him still two hours to fall asleep. But at least then it was 10pm and not 11 like the days before.
