Let’s talk about the importance of a bedtime/nap time routine! 👇🏻
👋🏻Hi! I’m Tyler, a music therapist and mom of 3 who specializes in child development.
Children THRIVE with routines. Do bedtime routines have to be elaborate or time consuming? No. Do you have to improvise silly songs like me? No, but it is definitely fun 🤪
Find what works for you and your child!
Before I started spending a couple extra minutes with Henry in his bed singing songs (usually spiderman themed) nap time and bedtime was difficult for him. He’d fight it, and be so sad when we went into his room.
I decided to try a few things to make bedtimes easier, and this was by far the most successful! Now he looks forward to picking a random thing for mommy to sing about. It takes an extra 2 minutes, and it’s made a world of a difference. ✨
If your little one is struggling with naps or bedtime, experiment with different things like:
Reading a book together
Singing a lullaby
Asking them a couple questions about their day
And find what helps your child the most! I promise once you find what works, that extra 2 minutes you spent helping them get ready for bed will be SO worth it. ❤️
