Bedtime Routine Builder
A minute-by-minute wind-down built backwards from lights out, so the routine ends at the right time rather than starting at a convenient one.
A bedtime routine for a six-year-old runs about 45 minutes backwards from lights out: screens off at 19:30, bath at 19:45 and story time from 20:10.
