We used to turn off all the lights in the bedrooms and go out in the barely-lit hallway and read aloud from a chapter book. Both children could hear the story. Worked well at our house. We actually did it a few times at sleepover parties we were hosting and...wonder of wonders...all the children fell asleep!


lol about the "calming bath" before bedtime. Anytime we tried that, they'd be running laps around the house.
