How should parents respond to common bedtime struggles like children refusing to stay in their rooms, continually begging for one more story, or sharing that they’re suddenly afraid of the dark? Why is bedtime such a struggle for some families? And what can we do to help?


 


In this week’s episode, I answer all of these questions and then some. This deep dive into toddler and big kid bedtime struggles will help you understand why bedtime is such a struggle sometimes, what kids really need at bedtime, and how to respond to fears of the dark.


 


Here’s the thing: When our kids go to sleep, they’re embarking on the longest separation they have from us all day. It’s a big deal! But with the right perspective, tools, and strategies, you can make bedtime more peaceful for everyone involved.
