It includes calm-down corner support for the big feelings that tiredness brings, written in warm, connected language that never shames.
What's included
- Evening Routine picture page with eight illustrated steps
- "My Evening Routine" tick-off checklist
- Calm-down corner support for tired, big-feeling moments
- Print-ready PDF
How to use it
- 1Display the chart where evenings happen, like the hallway, bathroom door or bedroom.
- 2Start the routine at the same time each night where you can. Predictability is what helps little nervous systems slow down.
- 3If feelings get big, pause the chart and visit the calm-down corner together. The routine will wait.
- 4End with connection: story time and a cuddle are part of the routine, not a reward for finishing it.
Who it's for
Children from about 3 to 8, and any family whose evenings feel rushed or tearful. It's especially helpful for children who are anxious at bedtime or struggle with transitions.

Questions, answered
How do I get my printable?
It's an instant download. As soon as checkout is complete, you'll get a link to your PDF by email and in your account, ready to print.
What paper size is it?
Everything is designed on A4 (Australia, UK and Europe). Printing on US Letter? Choose "Fit to page" in your print settings and it prints nicely.
Can I print it more than once?
Yes, as often as you like for your own family or classroom. Tip: pop it in a plastic sleeve and use a whiteboard marker so it can be reused every day.
What does trauma-informed mean here?
It means the tools are designed to help children feel safe and in control: predictable steps, gentle shame-free language, room for choice, and rewards that are never taken away.
Is this included in the membership?
Yes. Every family printable is included in the membership, along with Grounded Days Kids, the online versions your child can tap on a tablet or phone.
Can I get a refund?
Digital downloads can't be returned, so we don't offer refunds if you simply change your mind. But if a file is faulty, doesn't match its description or you were charged by mistake, you're covered by Australian Consumer Law and we'll fix it, replace it or refund you. Just get in touch.
