*Help your teen develop a night?time routine (常规) that involves（牵涉） activities that slow them down for the end of the day. 4. Turning off the computer and disconnecting from friends and the excitement of the day an hour before bedtime will also help your teen relax.
* 5. This will reinforce (增强) what it feels like to be rested and capable （有能力）of achieving what he/she wants.
