Bedtime drags on

Little Lantern Routines by Obsidian Vault
Calmer bedtimes. Smoother mornings. Clearer family routines.
Most family friction comes from the same handful of daily moments. Little Lantern workbooks give parents and carers practical, printable tools for the routines that keep coming back -- clear frameworks for busy homes, not perfect ones.

Sound familiar?
These are the moments Little Lantern is made for.
Four printable workbooks, each built around a specific part of family life that tends to cause the most friction. Pick the one that feels hardest right now, or take the full set.
Mornings start badly
The clock is already against you. Shoes are missing. Someone is still in pyjamas. You leave the house frazzled, and the day feels like it has already gone wrong.
The Brighter Mornings Planner →Screens cause arguments
It is not the screen time itself. It is the arguing when it ends, the just one more, the meltdown. And the guilt of leaving it running for five minutes of peace.
The Family Screen-Time Reset →Chores fall to you
You asked them to tidy up. They started, got distracted, and made more mess. You did it yourself again, and then felt bad for being frustrated about it.
The Helping Hands Chart →Our approach
Practical tools, honestly made.
Little Lantern workbooks are built around a simple idea: most family friction comes from the same handful of daily moments, and those moments get easier with a clear, repeatable rhythm. Here is how we built them.
Built around five anchors
Each workbook centres on five predictable steps -- a system simple enough for children to follow and consistent enough for parents to repeat. The anchors are the same every time, so the routine builds naturally rather than having to be enforced.
One focus per day
The seven-day structure means you are never trying to change everything at once. Each day has a clear focus, a tiny win to notice, and a reflection prompt -- so you can see progress without pressure.
Reviewed before release
Every workbook was read by parents and carers with personal experience in children's development and family routines before it was published. Each workbook draws on UK public health guidance relevant to its topic -- The Cosy Bedtime Reset specifically references NHS guidance and resources from The Sleep Charity.
Honest about limits
These are practical printable tools for real family life. They are not professional advice, and we say so clearly throughout. If something feels bigger than a routine difficulty, we point you towards qualified support. No dramatic promises -- just tools that may genuinely help.
Every workbook includes
The same tools, across every routine.
Each Little Lantern workbook is 40+ pages and follows the same framework -- so once you have used one, the others feel immediately familiar
