Sleepy time ZZZ’s

What rhythms and traditions do you have for your bedtime routine?

Is it a song you sing, a book you read, a warm bath, or having a special cuddle time? Doing a little something with your child right before bed can be a great time to connect and build a strong bond of trust and safety. Especially for young kids, consistency and routines give them a sense of stability and can help signal to the brain that it's time to wind down and prepare for sleep. In turn, they are more likely to fall asleep faster and stay asleep throughout the night because their bodies become accustomed to the routine of bedtime. While routines can be hard to set into place, it’s okay to start small! Something you can keep up with knowing you are making a difference and developing healthy sleep habits for your child.
