Hello my beautiful people of this beautiful community. Happy and blessed Sunday, in this opportunity I want to share with you a very interesting topic related to children who have trouble falling asleep. This is a very interesting topic because many parents despair because there are children who take a long time to fall asleep. I like to share my experience with all those parents who are going through something similar. It is important to remember that each child is an individuality. In this case I would like to share with you my experience.
Cuando me convertí en mamá por primera vez. Había muchas cosas que desconocía en relación a crear hábitos en los niños sobre el sueño. Mi hija tuvo siempre en su infancia muchos problemas para tener un sueño conciliatorio y reparador. A veces pensaba que era manipulación. Pero no me había dado cuenta que mi hija estaba pasando trastornos del sueño. Tenemos que estar muy vigilantes ante esta situación si la estamos viviendo con nuestros hijos. Habían dos comportamientos en ella que me llamaban mucho la atención en mi hija: uno era que se quedaba dormida en horas del día en cualquier parte y la otra era que le costaba conciliar el sueño en las horas de la noche cuando hay que ir a dormir. Pude notarlo porque mi madre me alertó y me comentó de lo que venía observando, porque ella era quien la cuidaba mientras trabajaba. Me comentó la somnolencia que presentaba durante las horas del día. Sabía que no era normal. Y decido llevarla al pediatra para verificar lo que estaba pasando en ella ya mi hija tenia para aquel entonces seis años estaba en edad escolar. Mi madre me acompaño al pediatra y tuve que pedir mis vacaciones para poder observarla más de cerca. Concluyendo el pediatra que la niña estaba pasando por trastornos del sueño.
When I became a mom for the first time. There were many things I didn't know about creating sleep habits in children. My daughter always had a lot of trouble in her childhood having a restful, restorative sleep. Sometimes I thought it was manipulation. But I didn't realize that my daughter was having sleep disorders. We have to be very vigilant about this situation if we are experiencing it with our children. There were two behaviors that really stood out to me in my daughter: one was that she would fall asleep anywhere during the daytime and the other was that she had trouble falling asleep at night when it was time to go to sleep. I was able to notice this because my mother alerted me and told me what she had been observing, because she was the one who took care of her while she was working. She told me about her drowsiness during the daytime hours. I knew it was not normal. I decided to take her to the pediatrician to verify what was going on with her, since my daughter was six years old at the time and was of school age. My mother accompanied me to the pediatrician and I had to ask for my vacation to be able to observe her more closely. The pediatrician concluded that the child was suffering from sleep disorders.
Aunado a eso se fueron intensificando sus conductas. La niña comenzó a tener problemas en el colegio, se quedaba en su asiento ida, no se concentraba, vivia mal humorada, y siempre con cansancio y fatiga física, llegue a pensar que estaba padeciendo de alguna anemia severa. La maestra elaboró un informe de la conducta que observaba en la niña. Y luego se la llevé al pediatra y comenzamos a trabajar juntos. Lo primero que me recomendó fue ir creando hábitos, no es fácil me dijo, pero si se puede porque ella aun esta pequeña. Siempre recuerdo estas palabras del pediatra con paciencia y amor todo se puede.
In addition to that, her behaviors were intensifying. The child began to have problems at school, she would stay in her seat, she did not concentrate, she was in a bad mood, and she was always tired and physically fatigued, I came to think that she was suffering from severe anemia. The teacher made a report of the behavior she observed in the child. And then I took her to the pediatrician and we started working together. The first thing she recommended me was to start creating habits, it is not easy, she told me, but it is possible because she is still small. I always remember these words of the pediatrician, with patience and love everything is possible.
Recomendaciones del pediatra: elaborar un horario junto con mi hija de como se irían cambiando los hábitos sin mucha presión, sin gritarla, sin imponerle actividades, etc es decir la involucre en el cambio de hábitos. Y de verdad logre lo que quería. Si se puede. Los niños son como esponjas que podemos ir poco a poco moldeando con mucha paciencia, amor, y seguridad en todas las rutinas que emprendamos con ellos. Lo primero que el pediatra indico fue: eliminar comidas excitantes del sistema nervioso, que la pusieran en estado de alerta, tales como los refrescos que contengan cola, cafés y chocolates. Una hora antes de dormir no consumir líquidos porque la obligaban a orinar e interrumpir su sueño. Al igual que la cena debía ser muy liviana. Su rutina de sueño debía ser de ocho horas. No permitir que su cama se convirtiera en una cama para jugar o realizar actividades escolares como antes se hacía. La cama solo se utilizaría para dormir. A pesar de todo no fueron tan fuerte los cambios de rutina, eso sí fue poco a poco. Cada vez que mi hija conciliaba el sueño al otro día al despertar y haber cumplido sus ocho horas de sueño se le colocaba una estrellita en un cartel que le hice para incentivarla a seguir con la rutina. Y así fue como logré salir adelante con mi niña. Su sueños cada día se fueron volviendo reparador y conciliador.
Recommendations of the pediatrician: to elaborate a schedule together with my daughter of how the habits would be changed without much pressure, without yelling at her, without imposing activities, etc. that is to say, I involved her in the change of habits. And I really achieved what I wanted. Yes, it can be done. Children are like sponges that we can mold little by little with a lot of patience, love and security in all the routines we undertake with them. The first thing the pediatrician indicated was: eliminate foods that excite the nervous system, that put her in a state of alertness, such as soft drinks containing cola, coffees and chocolates. One hour before bedtime, no liquids should be consumed because they would force her to urinate and interrupt her sleep. Dinner should be very light. Her sleep routine should be eight hours. Not to allow her bed to become a bed for play or school activities as it used to be. The bed was to be used only for sleeping. Despite everything, the changes in routine were not so strong, but it was little by little. Every time my daughter fell asleep the next day when she woke up and had completed her eight hours of sleep, a little star was placed on a poster I made to encourage her to continue with the routine. And that was how I managed to get ahead with my little girl. Her dreams became more restful and conciliatory every day.

El dormir bien es necesario para los niños y es por eso la importancia de conocer todo estos aspectos, aunque casa niño es diferente, lo problemas de mi hijo fueron por problemas respiratorios que mejoraron luego de operarlo de adenoides, pero siempre hay que saber cual ss la causa del problema de sueño y además que algunos solo son problemas de hábito, hay que estar atentos al motivo. Saludos 😊
Eso es correcto amiga por eso cada niño es diferente. Existen patologías que interfieren en los trastornos del sueño. Gracias por comentar. Saludos.
