Bedtime can sometimes feel like a battle, but it doesn’t have to be! A good bedtime routine helps kids wind down, sleep better, and wake up refreshed. Here are three simple things your kids should do before bed to make their nights more peaceful and enjoyable:
- Read a Book Together
Reading before bed is a magical way to end the day. It helps kids relax, sparks their imagination, and creates a special bonding moment with you. Choose a book that’s fun, calming, and full of wonder. If you’re looking for a perfect bedtime story, try The Hemplmagic by Coach Steve.
This book is about magical creatures called Hemples, born from special green eggs. These little creatures can grant wishes, but only if they’re treated with love and care. The story follows Big Pops, his granddaughter Abigail, and the town vet, Doc Brian, as they protect the Hemples from being used for selfish reasons. Abigail’s love for the Hemples keeps them close, no matter what. It’s a heartwarming tale that teaches kindness, love, and the magic of caring for others. If you’re searching for a book to read to your kids at bedtime, this is it!
- Brush Their Teeth and Wash Up
A clean and fresh feeling helps kids feel ready for bed. Make brushing teeth and washing their face or hands part of their nightly routine. It’s not just about hygiene—it’s a signal to their brain that it’s time to slow down and get ready for sleep.
- Talk About Their Day
Take a few minutes to chat with your child about their day. Ask them what made them happy, what they learned, or if anything worried them. This helps them process their emotions and feel heard. It’s a great way to end the day on a positive note.
Conclusion
A good bedtime routine doesn’t have to be complicated. Reading a book like The Hemplmagic, brushing teeth, and talking about the day are simple steps that make a big difference. These habits help kids feel calm, loved, and ready for a good night’s sleep.
So, if you’re looking for a bedtime story that’s full of magic, love, and life lessons, grab a copy of The Hemplmagic. It’s a story your kids will want to hear again and again—and it might just become your new favorite part of the bedtime routine!
