The doctor notes a success rate of 90 % and the comments of Internet users only confirm its effectiveness.
Children’s bedtime often turns into a nightmare. They drag, protest, claim a last glass of water, yet another story … and the parents end up exhausted. However, an American pediatrician claims to have found the miracle solution to promote falling asleep quickly and smooth. His trick, inspired by a method validated by the University of Yale, would display a success rate of 90%.
It was on Tiktok that Michael Milobsky alias @DR_MLKM wanted to share his amazing method.“What I noticed with the patients of my office is that after 10 minutes, many children fall asleep on their own”, explains the doctor. Words confirmed by many Internet users who have commented on the publication: “Two and a half weeks after, my daughter fell asleep for the second time on her own! It has changed the game!”testifies a surfer. Another parent tells: “It works every time!”
Unlike conventional methods which sometimes advocate it “let cry”, it is based on a radically different principle. The process was baptized “the game”. A game during which the child simply has to pretend to fall asleep. To do this, start by installing your child in his bed and explain to him that he will play a game. He will have to “imitate” someone who falls asleep. Then get out of the room for two minutes. Meanwhile, the child pretended to be sleeping. Return to the end of this time. If he does not sleep, he is free to get up. Each evening, increase the duration a little more, from 2 minutes to 4, then 6, until reaching 15 minutes if necessary. According to the professional, most children end up falling asleep before they even reached this maximum quarter of an hour.
So why does this tip work? Because when a child perceives a task like a game, he accepts it more easily. Health professionals are unanimous, the playful aspect dispels anxiety and allows natural resistance to fall asleep. Another key point: freedom of choice. Unlike strict methods where the child must absolutely stay in bed here, he knows that he can get up if he feels the need. This element considerably reduces opposition and crises. Note that encouragement also plays an essential role: “You really have to congratulate the child for having done something difficult”insists Doctor Michael Milobsky. In short, you are with all the keys in hand to spend peaceful and without conflict evenings.
