With younger children a bedtime ritual would be to get them in their pajamas. Ask them if they are hungry or thirsty and feed them if needed. Sometimes little children need a nutritional snack to get them through the night. Then brush and floss their teeth. Read to them or tell them a bedtime story.
Children love to hear stories of their parent s childhood.
It is time now to get in bed and kiss each of them good night. A simple kiss goodnight and telling them you love them is sufficient for most nights, but sometimes it is nice to have a little talk. You can rotate which night you stay and talk on the edge of the bed with each child. A fun thing to do at bedtime is to allow children to spend the night in their sibling s room. They invite each other to spend the night just as they would one of their friends.
