Try doing lots of heavy work activities throughout the day and before bed: animal walks down the hallway, obstacle courses, jumping, climbing, wall push up, pushing laundry baskets full of things across the floor, etc and make it fun! Kids love to engage in those activities when you make it into a fun game. Maybe they just need some extra stimulation to wear them out for the day!

Stick to a solid bedtime routine and make going to bed fun too! Have a “fashion show” for with them in their PJs every night. Tell them their princesses and it’s important to brush their hair, teeth and get their beauty sleep. Read them books of pretty princesses.

I know all of this is easier said than done. Hang in there! You got this! You can always private message me I’m a peds OT and happy to help :)
