Bedtime Routine Printable

If there is something that I keep coming back to when I talk about toddlers and sleep - it’s a consistent bedtime routine. Toddlers, preschoolers - and, let’s face it - adults, tend to thrive on routine. Kids like to know what to expect and when to expect it. When you’re facing a tough season of bedtimes, there could be a few reasons. I’ve already covered general bedtime routines, toddler bedtime battles, nighttime fear and separation anxiety, and when it might be time to drop the nap completely. Today I’m sharing a free printable bedtime routine poster that you can your family can follow together to help create a solid and predictable. Get your child involved in the bedtime routine. If this routine doesn’t work for your family - create your own. There is no right or wrong way to do it - the key is predictability.

Getting your little one involved in the process can also be helpful. Have them look at the pictures and share what step comes next. Or, have them put a sticker next to each item on the list after it is completed. Whatever works for you to help create a solid bedtime routine will help your little one feel safe and secure as bedtime approaches.
