Put on bedtime clothes
When the pyjamas go on, the body often reacts in two directions at once: calm settles in, but so does the realisation that the day is over. The visual support below captures that turning point with clear steps, so your child knows what happens next.

About this visual support
Pyjamas are the body's receipt that the evening is over. For some children that feels good and they sense permission to wind down. For others it triggers resistance, because the signal arrives before they themselves feel done with the day.
That is where visual support helps in two ways. It shows that changing clothes is one of several quiet steps, not a sudden stop sign, and it gives something concrete to focus on when thoughts scatter. A specific idea: place the pyjamas picture early in the evening sequence, ideally before brushing teeth, so the signal is softer and the body has time to shift gear.
When you have found an order that works at home, you can transfer it into Routined and try the app for fourteen days at no cost.
