DS takes 2 toys to bed and I hear him playing with them and unwinding until he falls asleep. He loves his toys so knows that he has to stay laying down under the covers or he looses them.
Sometimes (like tonight) that isn't enough and he calls out to me and says he can't sleep. I often go in (I have a bunch of tumblestone crystals, that your DD's might be a bit young yet if you think they will put them in their mouths, give him one or two to hold) and lay with him briefly and tell him to dream about his latest obsession so it could be the beach if we have been on holidays or his aunty that lived away. Tonight I said that he should imagine he is a bird soaring high in the sky above the mountains as that seemed like fun (yes he has a vivid imagination) and that seemed enough to keep his mind occupied to go to sleep.
Goodluck, I use to find it very frustrating when he would take hours to go to sleep.
