Bedtime Routine

Making the Bedtime Routine Special: A consistent bedtime routine is crucial to establishing successful sleep habits. The right routine can turn the dreaded bedtime into a wonderful bonding time that both the child and parent can look forward to.

The bedtime routine is specific to each family. It might include activities such as reading a book, singing a particular song, or taking a bubble bath. The consistent routine can help provide the child a sense of calming, and lets your child know what to expect each night before it’s time to go to sleep. See below to see my son’s bedtime routine.

This routine will also come in handy during vacations or daylight savings when there is a time change. In these situations, don’t focus so much on the clock, but follow your usual routine and those cues will let your child know its time for sleep.
