Bedtime Routine

Picture daughter created

Recently, I saw a bedtime routine that I could download.  It was a cute version for younger children.  Unfortunately, I needed something a little more advanced for my 11 year-old son.  That's why I decided to create one to fit his needs and maturity.  Since he already reads quite well, my version did not need as many pictures.

I asked my teenage daughter, the artist, to create a picture of a going-to-bed fish.  The only thing I needed to add was the new list of bedtime habits that I wanted my son to develop.  Below is what we came up with.  I hope this helps someone.  If you aren't able to access the Google document by clicking on the link, it could be that you don't have a gmail account, and that is easy to remedy.

Now, my son has a concrete list of what I require of him.  This will help him ease into a bedtime routine.  I've been needing a clear outline of what can help him wind down in the evening so he can get a good night's rest.  I've also been wanting him to get up early so he can get his chores and home schooling done in a timely manner.  It's fine for him to do his schoolwork on his own time, but some of his chores must be done by a certain time of the day.

Thanks for reading this quick blog entry about my son's bedtime routine.

Readers, let me know if you would like to see more of these type blog entries.  I'll try my best to come up with other clever, useful documents and/or printables.  My oldest son just made it possible to comment on these blog entries if you have a Facebook account so please let me know what you think of this printable.

How about it, my readers?  Do you all have any special bedtime routines?  I hope you would consider my bedtime routine for older youngsters. 

May God bless you all with His wisdom and peace.
