How can I make bedtime easier?

Bedtime resistance usually means kids need more connection before separation.

What to do, step by step:

1. Create a predictable bedtime ritual.
   Bath → pajamas → story → cuddle → lights out.
   
2. Dim lights early.
   Helps the brain prepare for sleep.
   
3. Slow your energy.
   Kids mirror your tone—so stay calm and quiet.
   
4. End with reassurance.
   “You’re safe. I’ll see you in the morning.”
   
5. Stick to routine daily.
   Consistency signals security.
