About This

Some children feel tired but still struggle to fall asleep.

Instead of focusing on sleep itself, try helping the body slow down first.

Simple ideas:

🌙 Dim lights 30 minutes before bedtime
🌙 Use a soft bedtime voice
🌙 Read a familiar story
🌙 Play gentle background sounds
🌙 Encourage slow breathing

Children often fall asleep more easily when bedtime feels calm rather than rushed.

Sleep is not something we force. It is something we gently invite.
