So my 6yr dd has always struggled to go to sleep. She's had the same routines as her older sister who has always been a great sleeper. Despite doing all the wind down, Bath, book, bed etc she's always been a "wired" kind of girl who can't just switch off and often still wide awake when I go to bed. Then shattered in the morning.
Anyway.
I've put an Alexa in her room and last week download the rabbit who wants to fall asleep. First night. Nothing. Then 6 nights (miracle!) of her being fast asleep within ten minutes. I could have kissed Alexa.
Now she's bored of it and wants to hear different stories. Fair enough.
Before I order randomly - any suggestions anyone? They need to be sleepy books. Not exciting adventures that will stimulate her mind.
Just to say. This isn't instead of me reading to her! It's for afterwards when it's lights out.
