The Bedtime Wind-Down

Bedtime turns into a battle in a lot of homes with neurodivergent kids. Going from busy to still is a steep drop, the quiet lets the worries in, and saying goodnight means letting go of you. It isn't defiance. Their body just hasn't been given a slope to slide down.

This 8-page guide gives you a calm, simple sequence to build that slope, one night at a time.

Inside you'll get:

• Why bedtime is so hard, in plain language
• The six-step wind-down sequence, from starting earlier to keeping the exits calm
• 12 phrase swaps for the moments that usually turn into a standoff
• What to do about 'one more', needing you to stay, screens and siblings
• A note for educators on tired kids at school
• A build-your-own routine strip and a two-week sleep tracker
• Two cut-out cards: your bedtime order and a worry-parking card
