written by a kiddo for mommys, daddies and everyone else who tucks in kiddos at night.

Kiddos don't like sleeping alone.
Stop What You're Doing and Look at Them

Look them in the face, put down your phone, you can even give them a kiss.
Say Something Nice

Say something nice about how you had fun today, or they were good by being quiet, or make a funny face and make them smile.
Kiss Any Boo Boos

Even hurt feelings, say sorry if you fight, tell them everything is okay.
Make Sure the Blankets Are Tucked In

Even if it's perfect, make double sure. Tug it into place even if it's perfect.
Now Say Goodnight
Kiddo will go to sleep feeling happy and safe -- most the time.
