Keep them active right up to bath time then after bath read to them. If this doesn't put them to sleep, then put some really soft music on to play. Something soothing. Don't fall for the need a drink of water trick or you'll have them up going to the bathroom constantly

Let them play for a while. Also, play with them. That way they'll feel like you care about them. Also, try laying down with them. That used to help my son, who now is 3 years old.

put them in a dark chilly room and ignore them if theyre crying and stuff and in about 10 mintes theyll go to sleep

I think the best solution is, you might think this is cruel, but, give them a little tiny bit of nyquil for children and play with them until they get tired. Works like a charm. but if your babysitting I don't think it would be a great idea to give someone else kid some nyquil

Tire them out. Play races, kickball, ect.. if it is nice out. If it isn't nice out then color, play hide and go seek, or read them stories. If none of this works as the parents what they do and if it is okay if they stay awake past the bedtime. Never give a child liquoir or medication, just to get them to sleep.

what i used to do with my brother was run around in the backyardand play soccer so he would get all tired out but when they are really smal u could try givig them a warm bath and something to eat that even get me to sleep
