Ease into Sleep with A Soothing Routine


Step-by-Step Guide:

  1. Shared Storytime: Begin by reading "Gugu and Penfin Sleep" together. This initial step is crucial for nurturing the bond between parent and child, offering a sense of connection and security at bedtime.

  2. Transition to Audio: After reading, place the book aside and activate the audio version of the story on a speaker. Then step out and make yourself a cup of tea. 

  3. Find Tranquility: Re-enter the room after 20 minutes to find your child sleeping peacefully.

why it works:

  • Bonding Through Reading: The initial shared reading establishes a loving connection, enveloping your child in a comforting embrace that signals safety and relaxation. The book’s images and the child-parent connection are fresh in child’s mind as they close their eyes. 

  • Calming Repetition and Sounds: The story's repeated refrains and soft sounds, combined with ample white space in the illustrations, signal to the child that it's time to wind down. 

  • Repetition: Children request the same story over and over because repetition is reassuring and aids in brain development. Instead of reading Gugu and Penfin Sleep five times, put the book away and turn on the audio. The story is repeated on a 20-minute loop.

  • Soothing audio: The addition of lullaby-like music and a soothing narration will lull your little one to sleep. 

  • Establishing a Sleep Cue: Implement this system as the last part of your bedtime routine and your little one will soon begin to drift off even as the first bars of music are heard.
