We've written about this many times on the blog, and described the huge pressure kids are under at an increasingly early age - and the need for their bedtime routines to be more restful and mindful, as the lure of gadgetry and technology, YouTube or TikTok videos and other distractions occupies them before they finally do hit the hay.
"Stars Before Bedtime: A Mindful Fall-Asleep Book" aims to assist parents and children with a more restful and relaxing bedtime, imagining the stars and constellations in the night sky as a means of slipping gently into a wonderful snoozy dream state.
Child psychologist Dr Jessamy Hibberd, along with Claire Grace, has devised a series of exercises to bring on a deeper and more satisfying sleep through mindfulness techniques.
With gentle, calming artwork from the wonderfully talented Hannah Tolson and simple, melodic text, children explore the sky’s constellations and the mythical stories behind them as they get their minds and bodies ready for bed.
Let's take a look inside the book:
 |
| Time to settle down for the night with a good book |
This book is perfect for younger children, particularly those who love space and the stars, and are just learning about constellations for the first time too.
 |
| A bit of restful bedtime yoga? Why not! |
Sum this book up in a sentence: A sonorous and restful book for little ones, hopefully lulling them into a nice gentle bedtime routine and a sound satisfying night's sleep.
"Stars Before Bedtime: A Mindful Fall-Asleep Book" by Dr Jessamy Hibberd, Claire Grace and Hannah Tolson is out now, published by Wide Eyed Editions (kindly supplied for review).
