Ready for Rest
Watch children around the world wind-down before nap or bedtime.
Together, watch children around the world wind down before nap or bedtime. Talk about how your child likes to get ready for rest. For instance:
- Sharing a bedtime story
- Cuddling with a loved one
- Holding or hugging a lovey or blanket
- Lying quietly with eyes closed
How many more can your child name? You might also point out the different kinds of places children are resting: outdoors on a blanket, on a couch, in school with other children, in cribs, and in beds. Talk about your favorite places and ways to nap and rest!
