Waarom het werkt
Bedtime routines support healthy sleep patterns and emotional regulation. Adding grateful expressions enriches this routine without complicating it. Research shows that regular gratitude practice is linked to reduced stress levels and greater life satisfaction (Emmons & McCullough, 2003). Your soothing, grateful voice helps your infant transition to sleep while modeling appreciation. Though they don't understand the words, the emotional tone contributes to feelings of safety and security.
Tips voor ouders
Bedtime offers a natural pause for reflection. Even a few grateful words can become a meaningful ritual.
Your calm, appreciative tone supports the transition to sleep. You're creating both gratitude habits and sleep associations.
Some nights will be easier than others. On difficult evenings, finding even one small thing to appreciate can help shift your perspective.
