Instructions
1. Set up a nap "nighttime" area by hanging small holiday lights and soft fabric
on the ceiling. Put a toddler bed, blankets, and pillows in the area. Put a
variety of bedtime books and lullaby tapes in the area.
2. This is a gentle way to help children feel comfortable and secure about
nighttime. They can play and pretend, tuck each other into bed, read stories
to each other, and listen to soothing music.
