Bedtime Rituals

I’ve found that a successful bedtime hinges upon rituals.  Kids who know and understand what’s about to happen are much more at ease and co-operative.

For the babies, it’s a bottle of milk and some snuggling in the rocking chair.  For the older kids, reading books and brushing teeth.  For Daddy, it’s a martini and a good cry.
