       Bedtime 
      Tune Time is a collection of short daily song videos designed to help 
      you transition your kids to bedtime. In these difficult times as we're 
      suddenly "staying home," we've seen our daily routines and schedules 
      evaporate overnight. 
          
      This can be an especially difficult time for our 
      children, as they may not understand why they can't go to school, or see 
      their friends, or even their grandparents or other family members. It's 
      stressful time for parents, as they try to establish a new kind of normal 
      for the foreseeable future. 
       
      The videos are not 
      intended to replace you in your bedtime routine, but to give you a resting 
      place; a time to catch your breath and mark and celebrate the end of your 
      child's day together. I hope you will watch them together and sing along. 
      Children are comforted by repetition and routine, and I hope they will 
      help you find a small but significant piece of routine as we try to find 
      our new normal. 
        
      A great way to start is by listening to 
      Tuck 
      You In With A Song. 
      And when this is all behind 
      us, you and your child will have memories that will last a lifetime- 
      because that's what singing together does best! 
       
      Here 
      are some additional ideas and activities for you to share with your child. 
      If your child has a favorite song they would like to see in my videos, 
      just let me know. This is a work in progress, and I welcome their - and 
      your- input! Songs just need to be traditional (or mine!). 
 1. Read a book before and or after the video.
 2. If you play an instrument, you can go to the song links under the 
      videos for lyrics
 and sheet music- play along or just do it yourself!
 3. Print out the lyrics and sing along.
