Link bath to the next step

Bath → PJs → teeth → bed feels smooth.

Use the same short sequence each night: “Bath, PJs, teeth, story.”

Tell them what’s next while you towel dry: “Next: cozy PJs.”

Predictability lowers bedtime friction.

Kids love knowing what happens next (even if they pretend not to).
