Back-to-School Wellness: Week 9 – Bedtime Routine
Nothing says “get ready for school” like a good night’s rest.
Routines are important for kids because they provide quality time before bed. When you have a routine, kids are less likely to resist bedtime, and they are more likely to fall asleep fast and stay asleep through the night.
YL makes it really easy to instill a safe and effective bedtime routine for kids of all ages.
Try These 4 Tips for Bedtime Routine
