Tips for Making the Change to Big Kid Bed
When it comes to growing children sleep is very important and a pivotal part of that sleep is making the transition from crib to a big kid bed. Most parents know that this time will be a difficult adjustment, but there are a few things they can do to make the change a bit smoother:
1) Make it a big deal: Consider a ceremony to say goodbye to the crib. This encourages the child that this is a big deal and they are special for being able to do this.
2) Put safety first: Even though you may want to keep your child in the crib for as long as possible, remember that safety comes first. If a child is tall enough to get out of the crib this poses a major risk for broken bones or worse.
