Does your child struggle with sleep and/or the bedtime routine? Here’s what to do about it! (REPLAY)

Do you envision this peaceful bedtime routine that is quick and easy but you end up with 3 trips to the bathroom, 5 drinks of water, 10 more hugs and kisses, begging for more stories and the repeated tucking and re-tucking in??

 

Today we dive into why this is and the 2 key strategies you can be implementing today to prevent the battle of the bedtime routine.

 

The constant requests and attempts to control what is happening is due to the buildup of feelings and emotions just under the surface that the body naturally tries to expel. By asking for another glass of water, your child is asking you to set a firm, but loving limit. 

 

Limits + Stay Listening = Connection

Connection = minds ready and able to think 

Minds ready and able to think = smoother bedtime routine and the ability to go to sleep
