There are 15 million children aged 3-5 in the US. Most of them do not sleep 11-13 hours as recommended by child development experts. Parents use routines in the evening to put their kids to bed on time. However, enforcing routines is difficult. Children struggle with transitions between activities and parents inconsistently implement routines. PeerHouse provides a companion to guide children through their routines. Children learn through behavior modeling in an experience that invokes imaginative play. PeerHouse signals transitions in activities to keep both parents and children on schedule. At the end of the day, everyone gets more sleep.
