How to use it

  1. Pick the steps your nights have, ending with bed.

  2. Print it and keep it in the bathroom or bedroom.

  3. Point to each step as you go, and let your child check it off.

Make it last: print on cardstock, laminate it or slip it into a sheet protector, and use a dry-erase marker or Velcro dots so you can use it again.

Questions parents ask

Should the last step always be the same?

Ending the same way each night makes the finish easy to see. Many families end with a story and then bed.

What if we need something that isn’t on a card?

Type your own words. A step can be anything you say out loud at your house.

Is my child’s name saved anywhere?

No. A name you type stays in your browser so it can print on the sheet. It is never sent to us.

Is it really free?

Yes. One email unlocks this and every other tool in the library, and you can print as many as you like. Your email also brings one short story each Tuesday, and you can leave anytime.

Read it with a story

This is a simple visual support for everyday routines, not a therapy or a treatment. If your child works with a teacher or therapist, they can tell you how it fits with what they already do. Picture symbols: Mulberry Symbols, CC BY-SA 4.0.
