Silent Reading
An entertaining way to get the kids to settle down
ADDED April 30, 2008
When the kids are in bed and a little wired, a great way to temper their childish enthusiasm is with some Silent Reading.
Silent Reading can entail quiet talking, whispering, or total silence, whatever you feel is appropriate. But the most important thing is the kid must read (or look at the pictures) and no getting out of bed. Make sure your child has enough books for 10 minutes . . . and that is it.
After 10 minutes of being all cozy in bed, most kids are ready to sleep. And you have gained 10 minutes of silence.
