Supporting connection at the end of the day.
Bedtime can become unsettled during December as routines shift and excitement increases. A simple three-step ritual supports emotional containment and helps children prepare for sleep. Invite your child to share something that went well, a feeling word and a hope for tomorrow.
This ritual helps children process their day and feel understood before bedtime. It also creates a warm connection between parent and child, which can soften difficult evenings. Routines like this become anchors in busy seasons.
