As any caregiver understands, the bedtime routine is a cherished tradition that may test your patience and composure at the end of the day. However, if timed correctly, it presents a valuable opportunity to bond with your child.
Assisting them in unwinding requires effort, but it also provides a chance for connection. Those moments before they drift off to sleep are ideal for imparting positive affirmations, words of reassurance, or expressions of love to help your child recognize the depth of your affection and the resilience of your relationship. In essence, you are affirming their significance and acknowledging their presence. Keep it concise and endearing—a single line to leave them with as their eyelids grow heavy.
