It's Time for Bed!

A parent would reach for this book when the nightly struggle of bedtime has become a point of friction, or when a toddler is transitioning from being 'the baby' to a 'big kid' who takes pride in their own routine. This book uses clear, friendly photography and rhyming text to walk children through the essential steps of winding down, from picking up toys to brushing teeth. By framing these tasks as achievements rather than chores, it helps reduce power struggles and builds a sense of autonomy. The emotional heart of the book is grounded in pride and accomplishment. With the included reward chart and star stickers, it transforms the often-dreaded bedtime process into a positive game. It is a practical tool for children aged 1 to 4 who respond well to visual cues and consistent patterns. Parents will appreciate how it models appropriate behavior while gently showing the consequences of stalling, ultimately aiming for a peaceful night for the whole family.
