Gesture & etiquette
Speak softly and calmly; gently indicate the pajamas or changing area; if possible, dim the room lights before approaching to signal the winding-down routine.
そろそろ' (sorosoro = 'soon / gradually') softens the transition to bedtime — it avoids an abrupt announcement and signals the change gradually, which is especially important for seniors who may resist sudden schedule shifts.
