Here are some simple tips to create a peaceful wind-down routine at home:

📖 Enjoy a quiet activity like reading or listening to calm music
💡 Dim the lights and turn off screens at least an hour before bed
🛁 Try a warm bath to help relax the body and mind
💬 Talk about the day - help your child feel safe and settled

Small changes can lead to better sleep and brighter mornings! 🌟
