Getting kids to bed peacefully can feel like a daily challenge for many parents. Between endless requests for “just one more story” and the occasional nighttime restlessness, bedtime can sometimes be a struggle. That’s why creating a calming and consistent bedtime routine is key. To help you out, we’ve rounded up top tips for a smoother bedtime routine, with a little help from Rescue Remedy Kids Night Drops—a gentle, melatonin-free sleep aid designed to help little ones drift off naturally and wake refreshed.
1. Create a Relaxing Pre-Bedtime Ritual
Children thrive on routine, and having a predictable wind-down ritual helps signal to their bodies that it’s time for sleep. Start an hour before bedtime by dimming the lights, turning off screens, and engaging in calming activities like reading a book, gentle colouring, or a warm bath.
2. Try Rescue Remedy Kids Night Drops
For nights when occasional sleeplessness strikes, Rescue Remedy Kids Night Drops can be a game-changer. Rescue Kids Night Drops is a combination of 6 flower essences and is carefully blended to support a restful night’s sleep. Suitable for kids aged 2+ (and even melatonin-sensitive adults), it’s free from artificial flavours, colours, and melatonin, helping kids fall asleep naturally without grogginess the next morning.
Simply place 4 drops on your child’s tongue or mix them into their favourite bedtime drink—easy, gentle, and effective! With around 65 doses per bottle, you’ll always have help on hand for those restless nights.
3. Stick to a Consistent Bedtime
Setting a regular bedtime helps regulate your child’s internal clock. Try to make bedtime the same time every night, even on weekends, so their body knows when to start winding down.
4. Create a Cosy Sleep Environment
Make their bedroom a calm and inviting space for sleep. Keep the room cool, dark, and quiet, with soft blankets and a favourite stuffed toy for comfort. A soothing nightlight or gentle white noise machine can also work wonders for children who need a little extra reassurance.
5. Encourage Open Communication
If your child struggles with worries at bedtime, spend a few minutes talking about their day or practicing gratitude. This can help clear their mind of any lingering anxieties, making it easier for them to settle down.
6. Be Patient and Consistent
Adjusting to a new bedtime routine takes time, so don’t worry if it doesn’t click immediately. Stay consistent and patient, and over time, your child will learn to settle into the routine with ease.
Available in pharmacies and health stores nationwide, Rescue Remedy Kids Night Drops are an essential addition to your bedtime toolkit. Whether you’re helping your little one get a good night’s sleep or you’re a melatonin-sensitive adult in need of occasional support, this natural sleep aid is here to help.
