Try This
There is something very personal about a pillow! Laying your head on a familiar pillow is like settling in with an old friend. It either feels just right, or it doesn't! Kids (and grown-ups) get attached to their own pillows and will fight to keep them.
Each night, put an object under your child's pillow. It can be something from nature, like a rock or a leaf, or a favorite object, like a small toy or a picture or a family member.
When it's bedtime say, "Let's go see what's under your pillow!" Excitedly hurry to your child's room, climb on the bed, and lift up the pillow to see what's there. Then thank Jesus together for that particular object or the person in the picture. This will help to remind you and your child to be thankful to God for everything in your lives. It is also a lot easier to get excited about going to bed when the child can anticipate a special time of happy sunrise with mom or dad.
