Bedtime Connections
š End the Day with Connection & Calm: The Guided Bedtime Ritual That Builds Emotional Intelligence
Tuck in the toys and unwind the day's big feelings with Bedtime Connections. This beautiful card deck transforms your nightly routine into a powerful, bonding ritual that fosters your child's social-emotional learning (SEL). Gently guide your child to identify emotions, practice gratitude, and reflect on their day, building crucial self-awareness skills for a happier, healthier mind.
Why It Works: The Power of Visual Learning
Toddlers think in pictures, not words. Before they can read, they are expert visual processors, learning about their world through recognizable images and symbols. Our object-based illustrations are intentionally designed to be understoodĀ instantly, making it easy for even the youngest children to engage, share, and connect without the pressure of finding the "right" words.
Dive into meaningful conversations with 54 unique prompts across seven thoughtfully crafted categories:
š Today & Feelings:Ā "If you could give today a color, what color would it be?"
ā¤ļø Love & Gratitude:Ā "What do you like most about yourself / your body?"
š Sense & The World:Ā "What is something you noticed today that was very beautiful?"
šŖ Body & Movement:Ā "Did you use your gentle hands or your strong hands today?"
š¦ Imagination & Wonder:Ā "What kind of magic creature would be a good friend to you?"
āļø Simple Hopes for Tomorrow:Ā "Who do you want to see at the door tomorrow?"
š” Family & Community:Ā "What is a rule we have in our house? Why is that rule important?"
