I'd start out by reading a book. Then, singing their prayers. "Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep; included blessing family members by their names, their dog's names and all the other people in the world, who mean so much to me. I used 'Guide me safely through the night and wake me with the morning light' vs 'If I should die before I wake, I pray thee Lord my soul to take'. (I thought the latter would somehow scare them instead of giving them rest.
I made up a song and called it 'Marshmallow Clouds and Candy Cane Trees'. This song is now being sung to my grandkids.
May this little book brings a smile to your face and peaceful sleep to the little ones in your life.
