My three year old does not sleep early and only dozes off around 2 in the night. What do I do to make her sleep early?

i can share some tips that helped my 2 year old set a bedtime pattern, she sleeps by 8 every night and sleeps through the night. 1. try to reduce her day time naps and distract her with other activities, such as playing, drawing and such 2. let her play as much as she likes and encourage physical exertion 3. make sure that you don't give her anything sweet after evening, as sugary things can make it difficult to feel sleepy 4. help her have more warm foods in the evening, such as warm soups, warm milk and such...it will help her body relax and start to settle for the night. 5. reduce the lighting in the room and also try to remove all sources of noise, especially from gadgets 6. give her a nice warm bath, gently massaging her head and telling her how sleepy you are, and yawning and fake yawning over and over again...wrap her in a towel and massage her dry, then make her wear something snug 7. talk to her in soothing tones for anything that you speak. in fact, whether or not you are reading out a story, keep your voice low for sure 8. show her that you are also sleepy and ready to sleep and tuck her in bed - if she doesn't want to sleep, let her lie down in the dark and cosy room 9. get her into bed at least an hour before she normally does - it will help to slowly bring up the bedtime to what you desire
