Bedtime routines are sooooooo necessary! Children need consistency and predictability - it provides a level of comfort and safety. Which is super needed at night when they are on their own and have any monsters to deal with. In your girl's case, we know she's got a lot of trauma. The more safe you can make the environment the better!
Plus, once a smooth routine is standard, it makes it way easier!
