tuck-ins
Cozy bedtime rituals
Tuck-ins are the ritual moments when a parent settles a child into bed—pulling up covers, perhaps reading a story, saying goodnight: Dad always did the tuck-ins when Mom worked late.
The term captures the whole bedtime routine, not just the physical tucking of blankets.
