calming spaces are key for bedtime

A key part of creating a bedtime routine that is likely to help a child (or adult!) fall asleep is looking at the environment in which the bedtime routines are taking place.

Just like having enough time to engage in self-care tasks in a caring way helps to get the mind, body and spirit ready for sleep, completing these spaces in quiet calming spaces is equally important.

Imagine trying to have a "relaxation massage" while watching the Indy 500 races.  Not likely a good fit.  The environment needs to be calm in order to be able to do engage in activities calmly and to feel calm.

​What environmental factors could be changed in your children's bedtime routine to help them get to a calmer state before "lights off"?
