2. Stimulating kids before bed
It might seem like a good idea to let them watch TV or play with the iPad right up until bedtime (it gives you a chance to clear the kitchen and throw a load of washing on, after all), but we can guarantee the bedtime transition is going to be a nightmare if you do. They’re now wired, excited and over-stimulated. Why should they go to bed when they can stay up and watch more screens?! Also, don’t be foolish enough to let your child eat a whole packet of jelly snakes or the like before bed, you really don’t want them to be in the crazy sugar zone at this time of day.
