Undress
For a second the shirt covers the face and everything goes dark, then cool air hits bare skin. When that feels unpleasant, the visual support below makes undressing more predictable.

About this visual support
The short moment when the shirt climbs up over the face is usually what makes undressing hard. The eyes get covered, sound goes muffled, and just as the head comes free, cool air meets warm skin. If a child does not know that feeling is coming, the whole bedtime routine can stall.
Visual support helps by breaking the moment down beforehand: free the arms, lift the hem, head out, then the trousers. Once the order is familiar, the dark second is not a surprise but one step among several that is soon over. Predictability takes the edge off the discomfort.
A concrete tip is to start from the bottom rather than the top: pull off socks and trousers first, so the tricky shirt becomes the last thing and not what sets the mood. Lay the pyjamas right beside, so warm fabric waits the instant after. In Routined you can build these steps into your own evening routine with pictures the child recognises.
