Bedtime struggles are rarely about defiance, they are often a sign that a child’s body and brain are still in “daytime mode.”
Excitement, overwhelm, and difficulty switching states can make settling for sleep feel hard.
This Emp Translator Card helps adults recognise common bedtime behaviours as signals of dysregulation and respond with calm, predictable routines that support the nervous system to slow down.
By keeping steps consistent and language minimal, adults can help children feel safe enough to rest.
Designed by an Educational Psychologist, this card reminds us that sleep follows regulation, not pressure.
