From farmyards and jungles to castles and rainbows, their head will be so full of nice thoughts that they will drift calmly off to sleep. With advice from The Sleep Charity, the words used have been carefully chosen to ensure that they have a calming effect. The muted colours of the gorgeous artwork by Judi Abbot aren’t over-stimulating and give a feel of a dream-like state. At the back of the book are extensive notes that give support and advice for helping children get to sleep. There are also ideas for questions that the parents or carers can leave with the children to think about to help children self-soothe and get to sleep quickly and easily. Within the illustrations and linked to the notes at the back of the book, are ideas for quiet activities that children can do before bed, such as colouring or listening to calming music. Many children struggle to get to sleep with worries and anxieties filling their head – last thing at night is not the right time to be trying to deal with these. Worries are always better dealt with in the morning. Help your child to have a full and restful night with this clever book.
