We just redid our overall bedtime routine for a reset - nothing majorly different from before, but switched up the order of a few things to break some bad habits they'd picked up. </p> <p>We also started playing music for them after they're tucked in bed and (for now, at least) the novelty of having something to listen to once they're settled in their rooms is helping. They helped pick songs for their playlists, and are excited to hear their choices. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wind-down-tips-for-toddlers#post-2918218 Thu, 13 Aug 2020 01:55:52 +0000 SweetCaroline 2918218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love the guided mindfulness book Breathe Like a Bear. There are 30 passages, so you can read 1 or several. The illustrations are beautiful too. All the classrooms at DD's school use it to calm the kids after recess, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wind-down-tips-for-toddlers#post-2918217 Wed, 12 Aug 2020 23:33:20 +0000 nwm 2918217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we're reforming bedtime around here in a number of respects and so we have an opportunity to incorporate new aspects into our routine. our main challenge is that (1) due to rearranging for WFH purposes, all our 3 kids are sleeping in the same room and (2) the 4.5 year old is tired at bedtime, the 9 month old is tired, the 2 year old is absolutely bouncing off the walls, and we can't leave her to CIO/put herself to sleep because she wakes the baby. we already wake her up from her afternoon nap but i know we need to do it even earlier. but i'm also looking for suggestions we could incorporate into our bedtime routine that both the 4.5 year old and 2 year old could do that would help them calm themselves a little. we already do shower, jammies, books, lullabies. there is plenty of nagging involved already so i'm looking for something they might actually enjoy, or a fun low-key quiet task i can assign them? would love to hear any creative solutions! </p>
