Does bedtime take an hour longer than it should?
You have done the bath, the story, the cuddles, the goodnight. And somehow it is still going. Another request for a drink. Another trip downstairs. You are exhausted -- and already dreading tomorrow night.
The Cosy Bedtime Reset gives you a clear seven-day framework to build an evening rhythm your child can recognise and follow. So bedtime stops being a nightly negotiation and starts being something your family can actually rely on.

Little Lantern Calm Cards
How it works
One focus per day. Seven days.
You do not need to do everything at once. The workbook walks you through one step at a time, so changes feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
Each day includes a tiny win to notice, a reflection box, and clear guidance on what to do and what to avoid.
From inside the workbook
What to say when it gets hard.
Every workbook includes ready-made parent scripts -- short, calm phrases for the exact moments that tend to come apart. Here is one example:
When they say they are not tired
"You do not have to feel sleepy yet.
It is still time for your body to rest.
Lie down and get cosy."
There are five scripts like this inside the workbook -- one for each situation that tends to derail the routine.
Also inside
Parent Calm Page
A page for the difficult moments that are really about you, not the child. Gentle reminders for when patience has run out and the routine is still going.
Quick Reset Page
A short checklist for when the week goes sideways. Pick it back up without starting from scratch.
