After a long day of working, feeding, bathing your child, and finally getting them into bed, you finally think it’s time to relax. But then, an hour later, your child is still lying in bed with eyes wide open or suddenly wakes up and wants a hug. Not only does your child sleep poorly, but parents also feel stressed and exhausted, with no time to relax<\/strong><\/span>. Want to get back your Me Time? It\u2019s time to create a bedtime routine for your child!<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sleep is the \u201cGolden Time\u201d for Child\u2019s Growth<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

For growing kids, quality sleep is very important<\/span><\/strong>. About 70\u201380% of growth hormone is released during deep sleep, which is essential for height development<\/strong><\/span>. During deep sleep, the brain also converts knowledge learned during the day into long-term memory, which supports memory, learning, and focus the next day<\/span><\/strong>. Adequate sleep also helps maintain stable emotions and behavior<\/strong><\/span>. Sleep doesn\u2019t begin the moment you lie down. Rather, it gradually sets in starting with a relaxation routine 1\u20132 hours before bedtime.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 1 – Turn Off Electronic Devices<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Kids may enjoy playing on phones or watching videos before bed, but the blue light emitted by screens can reduce the production of melatonin<\/span><\/strong>, the hormone that helps regulate sleep. This can disrupt the body’s natural sleep cycle and make it harder to fall asleep<\/strong><\/span>. <\/span>Try reducing screen time 1\u20132 hours before bed so the brain can slowly receive the signal that it’s time to rest.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 2 \u2013 Parent-Child Massage Time After Bath<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our body is the most relaxed after a bath<\/span><\/strong>. Parents can use Seedlings\u00ae Baby Oil<\/a> with a calming scent to give their little ones a simple massage while moisturizing their skin. Gentle body contact can help release oxytocin, the \u201chappiness hormone\u201d, and reduce stress hormones, helping kids relax and make it easier for them to settle down and sleep<\/strong><\/span>. This intimate bonding time also helps build trust and sense of security, strengthening the parent-child bond<\/strong><\/span>.<\/span><\/td>\n\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 3 \u2013 Switch from \u201cPlay Mode\u201d to \u201cRelax Mode\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes children have so much fun during the day that even though their bodies feel tired at night, their minds are still active. KidScents\u00ae Unwind<\/a> is specially designed to soothe children. It contains ingredients such as L-theanine, 5-HTP, magnesium, Lavender essential oil, and Roman Chamomile essential oil. It helps relax and calm overstimulated emotions, allowing energetic children to gradually settle down<\/strong><\/span>, unwind, and prepare for sleep. The powder form makes it easy to take, and the sweet watermelon flavor<\/strong><\/span> is also a favorite for many kids!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 4 \u2013 Create a Comfortable Sleep Atmosphere<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Smell is the only sense that connects directly to the brain’s emotional and memory centers. Lavender<\/a> helps calm restless emotions, while Gentle Baby<\/a>\u00a0creates a gentle, relaxing atmosphere. Diffuse in bedroom before bedtime to let the aroma guide your child into sweet dreams and help them sleep soundly until morning<\/strong><\/span>. Over time, children can also create scented memories. When they smell the familiar aroma, they\u2019ll start to recognize that it’s time to sleep, helping them build a more regular sleep habit<\/span><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bedtime Routines Help Parents Relax Too<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The bedtime routine is not only for children, but it can also help parents slow down too! While helping your child settle in for the night, the gentle aroma of essential oils can also soothe your fatigue that builds up throughout the day<\/strong><\/span>. After your child is asleep, try Deep Relief Roll-On<\/a> to relax your shoulders, neck, and muscles. Then treat yourself with a floral scent you love, such as Rose<\/a>, Jasmine<\/a>, or Ylang Ylang<\/a> Essential Oil, and enjoy your own Me Time!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
