About This

Many toddlers don’t resist sleep because they aren’t tired. They resist because their minds are still active.

A simple bedtime routine can help your child understand that sleep is coming. Children feel safer when they know what happens next.

Try this gentle bedtime flow:

🌙 Warm bath or wash-up time
🌙 Put on comfortable pajamas
🌙 Read a short bedtime story
🌙 Dim the room lights
🌙 Play soft sleep sounds

Keeping the routine similar each night helps children feel calm and relaxed.

Small routines can create big changes over time.
