A consistent bedtime routine pays off. Stick to a pattern of bath, reading, cuddling, etc., to help your child’s body get the message that it’s time for sleep. Turn off the screens, as experts agree that using them too close to bedtime interferes with getting quality sleep. Make a one-hour digital curfew before bedtime. This applies to kids—and us moms.

Getting kids out the door in the morning or to bed at night can feel like a daily battle. If you’re tired of reminding, rushing and repeating yourself, a routine chart can help.
