A Simple Storybook Routine for Better Bedtime
A calm bedtime routine helps children feel safe, connected, and ready to sleep. Try setting aside 15 to 20 minutes each evening for story time in a cozy reading corner. Let your child pick one or two books, then read slowly with expressive voices and simple questions about the pictures. Repeating favorite books builds confidence and language skills, while predictable timing helps children know what comes next. You can end with a short song or cuddle to make bedtime smoother and more comforting for the whole family.
