Ready for Bed Week has been initiated by Worlds Apart, to encourage parents to take the time to focus on establishing a good routine.
It also aims to help support the international charity Sleeping Children Around the World (www.scaw.org) which was set up to provide bed kits for children in underdeveloped and developing countries, who are not fortunate enough to have a comfy place to sleep.
Worlds Apart has posted some useful tips and links plus a downloadable Ready for Bed Week reward chart on its website, www.readyforbedweek.com.
For every 100 unique downloads of the chart during Ready for Bed Week (26th October – 1st November), Worlds Apart will fund² a bed kit from SCAW so it’s hoping as many families as possible will get involved.
The reward chart helps parents record and acknowledge good work and behaviour when it comes to cleaning teeth, tidying toys, settling down in good time and of course, staying in bed until it’s time to get up.
