Understanding Child Behavior: 8 Annoying Child Habits That Are Actually Normal

6. Often Wakes Up at Night

Your child’s consistent sleep pattern can be disrupted when they suddenly wake up at unusual hours, sometimes crying. These frequent disruptions can test your patience.

What’s Happening:

Sleep disturbances are often triggered by strong emotions and exposure to new information during the day. If a child doesn’t want to sleep, it might be due to intense emotions experienced in the evening. Alternatively, the excitement of mastering new skills may lead to overexcitement, making children reluctant to sleep.

What to Do:

Try to schedule most activities during the first part of the day. If your child still struggles to sleep at night, remain calm and spend some quality time with them. This can help them calm down and return to sleep without unnecessary stress.
