Who:
Toddlers, preschoolers, and autistic children who find the transition from “active time” to “sleep time” challenging or anxiety-inducing.
What:
This is a structured, repetitive social narrative featuring a relatable Bear character. The story walks through a sequence of common bedtime requests and core words—asking for an apple, a book, an iPad, and a hug—before reaching the definitive conclusion of going to sleep. It uses simple language and rhythmic cues to signal that the day is winding down.
Why:
Bedtime is often a series of “micro-transitions” that can feel overwhelming. By following Bear’s journey, children see a model of a successful routine. The story validates their desire for “one more thing” (like a snack or a screen) but provides a clear, comforting finish line. It helps set expectations, reduces bedtime power struggles, and uses a “social story” approach to make the abstract concept of “settling down” feel like a shared, predictable mission.
