The bedtime ritual: an essential moment

For a young child, the transition from day to night can be a source of anxiety. By instituting a bedtime ritual, you can help him overcome his fears.

• The goal is to help your baby calm down and feel peaceful before going to sleep.
• Put your child in his bed at the first sign of fatigue.
• The ritual is the same every day, but it will evolve with age.
• Your voice is an important part of the ritual.
• As a toddler, you can speak softly and hum a lullaby in his ear.
• As he gets older, you can tell him stories.
