When It’s Time for Bed

Description

A Calm-Down Story for Kids Who Have Big Feelings at Bedtime

Bedtime can bring out everything a child has been holding onto all day – extra energy, worries, protests, questions, and the feeling that they simply are not ready to stop. This warm story turns that everyday challenge into a story about slowing down, showing how a calm routine, connection and simple self-regulation tools help the body and mind prepare for rest.

Through the story, children can practise:

• Recognising when their body is still busy
• Moving from active time to quiet time
• Using breathing and calming strategies
• Creating predictable bedtime routines
• Talking about night-time feelings
• Finding comfort in connection and consistency

Ideal for

A gentle addition to the bedtime routine for families who want evenings to feel calmer and more connected.

Big feelings don’t always need big solutions. Sometimes they just need little tools.
