這段時間Su容易夜驚，且在深夜起床活動。

整理Marc Weissbluth的Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child
相關資訊如下：



為了建立睡覺習慣，父親或母親可以暫時地陪睡一段時間。
成年以後睡眠的問題，可能都是來自於現在小時候睡得不好。

1-5 yrs old
bedtime routine 要少於三十分鐘

2-3 yrs old
testing, 不合作、反抗、striving for independence
夜間比較常醒的小孩，比較有可能有較多傷害（例如斷骨或刀傷）

五步驟
1. 良好紀錄， even protest calling, fussing, crying
2. 觀察late afternoon或是early eveing孩子是否守規矩
3. 宣佈新規矩：
    down is down.
    silent return to sleep
    explain is also verbal attention, negative is still attention.
       (You want to avoid discussions or lectures at the time the problem is taking place
        because your reasoning calls attention to the problem and thus reinforces it.)
    silent, unemotional, disinterested, mechanical
    no nitghttime social interaction
4. 自己睡在可以清楚她動靜之處
5. 每天早晨，讚美孩子因為他的配合

bedtime star chart: behaviorism, she could choose a treat later that day.

當你覺得問題已經解決，問題可能又浮出表面。 this is called a "response burst."

while bottles given early in the morning may help the child return to sleep, give him only water.

in the morning, don't go to her until the wake-up hour.

sound sleep habits relate to being friendly, expressive, outgoing


為甚麼孩子在睡夢中醒過來？很多家長歸咎於：過度緊張或腹絞痛(0-6 months)、長牙(6-12 months)、分離焦慮(12-24 months)、"恐怖的兩歲兒"(24-36 months)、恐懼(36-48 months)...Don't hide behind excuses!
