Description
Bedtime anxiety in children is more common that many parents realise.
You’ve done the story, the cuddles, the lights are low… and still, your child can’t switch off.
Maybe their mind keeps racing.
Maybe they feel worried or unsettled.
Maybe bedtime stretches on longer than it should.
If your child struggles to settle at night, you’re not alone.
At the end of the day, everything that’s been held in can start to come up.
Thoughts, emotions, energy. It can all feel a bit bigger at bedtime.
This is often why children experience night time anxiety or a busy mind at bedtime.
What helps isn’t more pressure to sleep. It’s support to help their body feel calm and safe.
How this helps
This toolkit is designed to gently support children who:
- can’t switch off at bedtime
- experience bedtime anxiety or worries at night
- don’t want to be alone
- struggle after bad dreams
- feel restless or unsettled in the evenings
- need lots of reassurance before sleep
It also helps you feel calmer and more confident in how you respond.

A 36-page Bedtime Toolkit for your child

Just press play at bedtime
Guided tapping meditations so you don’t have to lead everything yourself.
These support:
- busy minds that won’t switch off
- worries about tomorrow
- fear of the dark
- separation at bedtime
- bad dreams
- restless or “wiggly” bodies
These meditations help:
- calm the nervous system
- reduce bedtime anxiety
- support your child in feeling safe enough to sleep
…and give you a moment to step out of holding it all on your own.
Support for parents too
Because how you’re feeling matters.
If bedtime feels stressful, overwhelming, or unpredictable, that’s completely understandable.
You’ll also have tapping support to help you:
- feel calmer and more grounded
- reduce overwhelm
- respond more gently
- feel more confident at bedtime
When you feel calmer, it naturally helps your child feel calmer too.
Why this works
This isn’t about forcing sleep or getting bedtime “perfect”.
It’s about:
- calming the body
- supporting your child’s emotions
- creating a sense of safety
So your child can begin to settle more naturally.
Even small shifts can make a big difference.
You don’t need any experience with tapping and you don’t need to fix everything in one night.
These small moments of sitting together, tapping gently, and helping your child feel calm, they build over time.

Bedtime had become such a stressful part of the day for us. By the evening we were all completely done in, and what should have been a calm wind-down was always ending in tears, frustration or endless back and forth.
This toolkit has genuinely helped take the intensity out of our evenings.
My daughter really connected with the tapping and the audios, and the parent tapping really helped me when everything felt like it was escalating. Bedtime feels so much calmer now and less like a battle. I’m so happy that we can now enjoy bedtime again.
It’s such a lovely resource and has really made a difference to our family.

I bought this after yet another bedtime where I’d spent over an hour going backwards and forwards between bedrooms, feeling completely touched out and drained by the end of the day and quite frankly I was desperate!
What I liked straight away was that it didn’t feel unrealistic or preachy. It’s simple, gentle and actually manageable to use when you’re tired.
The tapping has helped both my sons settle so much more easily, especially on the nights when their brains just won’t switch off. Overall, bedtimes feel calmer and quicker and we had our evenings back again! Thank you!I’m
