Description
Understand how exuberant play before bed can actually help children sleep more restfully!
In this delightful book, Bob gets rambunctious every night before bed. His parents try to calm him down, but he doesn't feel relaxed and finds it really hard to sleep.
His Mum and Dad realise that trying to calm him down isn't working, so one evening, they decide to join in with his play instead. They are surprised to find how much they enjoy it.
The play leads to Bob's tears, which they listen to lovingly. They discover that his play and his crying are the key to him feeling really relaxed and sleeping peacefully and restfully.
"This book is a gift to parents and children, beautifully capturing how play, laughter, and tears help release stress. A deeply affirming story that invites families to embrace
the wild energy of bedtime with trust and connection." - Louise Tredger, mother of Aspen, Founder of Rewilding Sleep
"I love how Bob got to play before bed! It made him feel happy and sleepy." Aspen, 6
