Naptime tips for tired tots

[sunnybunny]

Totally agree! I use soothing classical music and turn down the lights to signal it's time to wind down and rest.

Classical music and soft lighting seems to work well for many little ones! It's amazing how they can quickly associate these cues with naptime and relax into the routine. Some mums I know also add a white noise machine for that extra soothing ambiance, which works surprisingly well!

Classical music definitely helps set the mood, along with dimming the lights. And white noise machines are like the secret weapon for quick downtime, creating a calming atmosphere for them to settle. I notice that this is a great routine especially when we're out and about or travelling as well, helps keep their sleep schedules on track!

That's a great point about children being affected by their environment! Sensory play and heavy work activities can really help with this - giving them some deep pressure input and an outlet for all that excess energy can make a huge difference when trying to calm them down before sleep. Also, keeping the room dark and using blackout curtains is helpful for those sensitive to visual stimuli.

You're right about Curtains being a great way to keep the room nice and dim especially for our little ones who love their long, uninterrupted slumbers!
