That's heartening to hear. Many a time, I've caught my kid eavesdropping on conversations outside or peering through the window at passing cars, missing out on precious sleep. I like your idea of embracing the night and using it as a reminder that bedtime isn't so bad!That FOMO gene can be a real pain! My little one also gets curious and alert at night, especially when she senses activity outside. I've had some success with keeping the curtains slightly open during story time, peeking together at the night sky or the quiet street, and then slowly closing them while explaining that it's time to rest and everyone is heading to bed. It's a gentle reminder that it's okay to sleep and everyone else is doing the same.
