[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 368867, member: 1722"] I think that most of our kids lack the self-awareness to self-regulate or even fully understand how they are feeling at any given time. Duckie was very upset when I told her she'd be going to bed at 8pm because her usual bedtime is 9pm. But, we've had several exceptions to that over the last few weeks and she is beginning to struggle to sleep at all. I think I finally got through to her that this wasn't a punishment. I talked to her today about learning to recognise when she's overtired and making the mature decision of getting some extra sleep so she feels better and functions well. She agreed that she might as well get rest when she's not busy so she's able to play hard other times. But, I don't think she truly recognizes when she's tired so she needs her parents to help her. by the way, she was yawning as she crawled into bed last night and seemed a lot better today: her cold is a little better and she seldom ground teeth today. And, she was a lot less oblivious too. [/QUOTE]
