About Calmly Kids

Bedtime doesn't have to be a battle. It doesn't require expensive programs, rigid schedules, or perfect execution. What it does require is predictability, connection, and a bit of grace for yourself as a parent.

Calmly Kids exists to help parents create calmer, more connected bedtime routines for children aged 3–7. We believe that peaceful nights start with understanding your child's development, setting gentle boundaries, and building routines that feel manageable—not overwhelming.

Our Mission

We're here to provide evidence-informed, practical guidance that helps you reduce bedtime stress and build more confidence in your parenting. No one-size-fits-all solutions. Just reassuring, actionable advice that respects your child's needs and your family's reality.

What We Stand For

Evidence-informed approaches

Every tip, script, and strategy we share is grounded in child development research and gentle parenting principles. We don't guess—we guide based on what's known to work.

Gentle, respectful parenting

We believe in boundaries that feel kind, routines that honour connection, and strategies that don't rely on punishment or rewards.

Realistic expectations

Parenting is hard. Bedtime is often harder. We're here to help you find what works for your family, even on the tough nights.

Real families first

We write for parents navigating the real rhythms of family life, with language, examples, and resources that feel relevant and relatable.

What You Won't Find Here

We don't promise overnight transformations or one-size-fits-all solutions. What we do offer is a calm, non-judgemental space to learn, connect, and build the bedtime routine that works for your family.

Who We Are

Calmly Kids was created by a father of two young boys who understands firsthand the challenges of bedtime with young children. With a background in strategic thinking and a deep commitment to gentle parenting, he built Calmly Kids to be the resource he wished existed when his own bedtime struggles began.

His wife, a primary school teacher specializing in early childhood education, brings professional insight into child development and age-appropriate expectations. Together, they combine lived experience with evidence-based research to create practical, reassuring guidance for parents.
