I'm a new parent. I've been wondering how I can make my child's bedtime routine less stressful?

One way to make your child's bedtime routine less stressful is to start it at the same time each day and keep it consistent. Try setting up a calming environment for your child, such as dim lights or soft music, before you begin. Make sure to talk calmly and reassuringly throughout the process, and give lots of praise when your child cooperates. Additionally, if possible, try to involve your child in some part of the bedtime routine, like reading them a story or doing an activity together. This will help create a positive association with bedtime and reduce any anxiety that may be associated with it.
