Conclusion
Bedtime struggles are common, especially when children are working through emotional or developmental milestones. This case study shows how structured routines and positive behavior strategies can reduce tantrums and improve sleep. Visual checklists and routines give children a sense of predictability and control, which lowers stress and bedtime resistance. Consistent bedtime cues (like stories, music, and rituals) have been shown to increase sleep duration and quality in young children. The app’s step-by-step approach guides parents to identify specific challenges, select evidence-based calming techniques, and create a supportive bedtime environment. Encouraging children’s participation in bedtime activities also builds their self-confidence and emotional awareness. These changes foster a calmer atmosphere and support better parent-child relationships.
