Kids often wake at night seeking attention from parents distracted by work and phones. Try 10-minute daily one-on-one sessions without devices: floor play, roughhousing, coloring, eye contact. Direct physical connection reduces the nighttime wake-ups.
So it brings me on to our second point, why kids wake in the night and how we can help to stop it. Causes of waking that I see is craving attention from their parents. You know, it's not to say that we don't give them lots of attention in the daytime or the evening. It's just we're all working really hard and we're always on our phones. So it's just really important to have that one-on-one time as much as humanly possible. Just be little snippets of 10 minutes here and there. Of one-on-one time without phones and TVs, like really on the floor playing, you know, a bit of kind of rough and tumble if that's what they're into, or coloring, whatever they enjoy. But eye contact, touching, you know, you are your child's world, and that is just so meaningful for them to kind of have all that attention.
