A simple bedtime routine with a timer
- Wind-down warning. Start a timer before play ends so your child can watch the time run out. The fish tank or glass jar works well for little ones.
- Bath or pyjamas. A short timer turns getting changed into a calm race against the buddy.
- Toothbrushing. Two minutes on a custom timer, with the buddy calling when it's done.
- Story time. A timer for reading makes “one more book?” easier to answer.
The point isn't to rush your child. It's to make each ending predictable, so the evening flows instead of stalling at every step.
Let the buddy say it
When the timer ends, your child's buddy calls with a real animal sound — a cat, a duck, a frog — until you tap to answer. Hearing “time's up” from a friendly character often lands better than hearing it from a tired parent.
Keep evenings calm
Munch Buddy has no ads, no coins and no streaks, so there's nothing to keep a child hooked on the screen. You can also hand out a star after a smooth evening, which is a nice way to end the day.
