Tonight’s bedtime for your toddler

A story, a lullaby and a goodnight game, after the bath and pyjamas. Toddlers like to help choose: let them tap “Try another” until you find one you both like.

About 11 minutes, in this order. There’s something different each night.

  1. 1. Read a story

    Settle in a chair or on the bed, with the big light off and a lamp on low.

  2. 2. Sing a lullaby

    Hold them close and sway as you sing. Once you know the words, put the phone down.

  3. 3. Say goodnight

    Read it once, then put the phone down. It ends at the cot or bed.
