Objectives Investigate the direct and moderating effects of daytime parenting practices on the relationship between bedtime routines and pediatric sleep problems. Methods A community sample of 407 parents with children 2–10 years old completed measures of parenting practices (i.e., laxness and over-reactivity) and bedtime routines (i.e., consistency and reactivity to changes in routines). Sleep problems (i.e., severity and signaled night waking) were assessed by a parent-report questionnaire and sleep diaries. Results Higher parenting laxness (β = .13) and less bedtime routine consistency (β = −.34) significantly predicted sleep problem severity. Laxness moderated the relationship between bedtime reactivity and sleep problem severity: when bedtime reactivity was high, higher parental laxness was associated with more severe sleep problems. Conclusions Daytime parenting practices are important to consider when children are reactive to changes in bedtime routines, as permissive or inconsistent daytime parenting practices were found to be associated with more severe sleep problems. Future research should examine the effects of parenting practices and bedtime routines on problematic signaled night waking in a clinical sample of children.

育儿实践、睡前常规和一致性：与儿科睡眠问题的关联

目标 调查日间育儿实践对就寝时间和儿科睡眠问题之间的关系的直接和调节作用。方法 407 名有 2-10 岁儿童的父母的社区样本完成了对育儿实践（即松懈和过度反应）和睡前常规（即对常规变化的一致性和反应性）的测量。通过父母报告问卷和睡眠日记评估睡眠问题（即严重程度和夜间醒来的信号）。结果 较高的育儿松弛度 (β = .13) 和较少的就寝时间一致性 (β = -.34) 显着预测了睡眠问题的严重程度。松弛缓和了睡前反应和睡眠问题严重程度之间的关系：当睡前反应高时，父母的松弛度越高，睡眠问题越严重。结论 当孩子对就寝时间的改变产生反应时，考虑日间育儿实践很重要，因为发现许可或不一致的日间育儿实践与更严重的睡眠问题有关。未来的研究应该在儿童临床样本中检查育儿实践和就寝时间对有问题的夜间觉醒信号的影响。
