Ever had trouble getting your kids to sleep at night?

Yeh, me too.

We have the Calm app in our house, and this usually works well. But sometimes there hasn’t been a new story uploaded in awhile, and the kids are sick of listening to the same ones.

So, I spent the last year writing some sleep stories to fill those gaps. The kids got to choose the characters and give me some elements that had to be in each one. Then I recorded them, added in some music, and gave them to the girls as test subjects.

Despite my concerns, their reviews weren’t scathing, so I’m continuing on! The stories are far from perfect, but they seem to do the job, and I’ve even overheard my smallest child talking about some of the things the main characters in the stories have learnt. So not only are the stories helping her get to sleep, but she might also be learning a thing or two about emotions in others – double win!

If you’re interested, I’ve grouped together a sample of the first few stories HERE. I hope they help!
