Activity:
At bedtime, recall all the events of that day chronologically, right from what happened after the child woke up.
The child can tell you about what they did when they were away at school or when you were away at work. Note: Let the child tell you whatever the child wants to share. Don’t press the child for more information.
Ask the child questions about how they felt when a particular thing happened.
Allow the child to share some experience or a difficult emotion if they feel the need to.
Tell the child that you love the child in your own way by the end of this activity.
Continue with your last activity in your bedtime routine.
