Co-author a bedtime story.
There’s no kid on earth that will tire of bedtime stories…
But you might get tired of telling the same story on repeat.
Well, time to dip into the creative reservoirs and invite your child in on the plotline.
Wish upon glow-in-the-dark stars.
Make it a ritual each night to pick out one star (or constellation) and make a wish.
One of the best gifts we can give our children (and ourselves) is a gratitude practice.
For a couple of minutes, practice slow and deep belly breathinginhaling and exhaling fully.
Challenge them to take big inhales and exhales to move the animal higher and lower.
Breathe with them so that you could reap the benefits too!
Make tonight’s bedtime better.
There’s nothing sweeter than summertime, but it’s also the time of year when routines easily unravel.
As a reminder: Sleep is integral to a happy family!
