What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is entirely focused on a positive, secular bedtime routine.
Ideal Reader
A toddler, aged 18 months to 3 years, who is either struggling with bedtime resistance or thrives on predictable routines. This book is perfect for a child who needs to see the steps of getting ready for bed laid out in a simple, positive, and non-threatening way.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed. The book is straightforward and its concepts are universal to a toddler's experience. It can be read cold and immediately integrated into a bedtime routine. The inclusion of a potty might be a welcome talking point for families who are toilet training. The parent has just endured another nightly battle over bedtime. Their toddler is anxious, defiant, or simply too wound up to sleep. The parent is looking for a tool to de-escalate the situation and create a new, peaceful script for the end of the day.
