Do an auditor an audio.
There's lots of great audio recorded sleep visualizations that are great for kids.
They're sort of like self-hypnosis, but it's really just like a story that helps them calm down.
Another great trick is what they call heavy work.
And it's an it's it's a weird name, but it's from occupational therapy.
Um there's some great resources online that you just type in heavy work for bedtime.
And it's basically games you can play with kids that help their big muscles and joints kind of relax.
So it's things like, and it'll it's again, it's not intuitive at all, pushing a laundry basket of books around, uh crashing.
Into pillows, doing push-ups on the wall, jumping on a trampoline, which you'd think would be the opposite of what you'd want to do for bedtime.
But for these kids, that pressure on their joints and big muscles kind of helps the whole system power down a little bit.
So sometimes doing that, again, that's good pre-routine routine, right?
Because it sounds like a game, but it's actually in the service of getting them ready to
to kind of okay, I'm ready to get in bed and be calm.
Well, that's a a good question though, because also how do you know if it's not working, right?
Like there's a a lot with these kids, they can be real curveballs.
And what happens to us as parents is often we can be really shell shocked, like nothing works, I don't know what I'm doing.
I'm just throwing possible solutions at everything.
And that by itself makes things for the
These kids even more, a little more chaotic, right?
So we say, look, be very methodical, very methodical about what you try.
