How we made it

Built on research, not guesswork

We read the published work of child psychologists, pediatricians and early-childhood researchers first, then wrote and drew the pages to put it into practice at home.

Who it's for

  • Parents of children aged 2–7 whose bedtime takes an hour
  • Anyone who wants the routine chart and the story to be the same thing

What it puts into practice

  • Seeing yourself do the hard thing: children are more likely to try a behaviour they have watched themselves do (self-modelling, Dowrick's research on video self-modelling)
  • Name the feeling before trying to fix it (Gottman's emotion coaching)
  • A predictable sequence of steps, in pictures, reduces bedtime resistance (visual schedules; CSEFEL routine guides)
  • Ending the day on the same page every night: the book is the cue that sleep comes next

Questions

Still curious?

  • The six steps are the common ones (bath, teeth, pyjamas, book, hug, lights out). If yours differ, tell us in the order note and we will swap a step.
