Play it together at bedtime, once teeth are brushed and the lights are low. It takes about two minutes. When it ends, take turns naming three good things from today. Grown-ups can share theirs too.

01Today is almost over. Before I sleep, I think about the good things.
02Thank you to my family, and everyone who looks after me.
03Thank you to my friends for the games we played.
04Thank you for my cozy bed and my safe, warm home.
05I’m glad my body helped me play and learn today.
06Even on a tricky day, I can find something good, like a funny moment.
07I learned something new today. My brain grew a little bit.
08Tomorrow I can say thank you to someone. It makes people happy.
09My favorite part of today makes me smile.
10Three good things, one sleepy me. I’m thankful for today, and ready to sleep.

Why it’s written this way
Ending the day with good things is a simple habit families can share, and it gives children a calm, warm thought to fall asleep on. This loop walks a child through the parts of life they can easily picture: family, friends, home, their body and what they learned.
Each note is one short idea in words young children use every day. The repeated thank you gives the loop a gentle rhythm, which suits bedtime and helps kids join in. The note about tricky days teaches something important: even a hard day has a good moment in it somewhere.
The note about saying thank you tomorrow turns the feeling into a small kind action. The loop ends with a sing-song line, three good things, one sleepy me, which is a natural cue for the family to name their own three things before lights out.
