Why bedtime routines matter so much 🥱

Image
Hi friend, Have you ever noticed how much harder everything feels when kids are overtired? The meltdowns, whining, sibling fights, and struggles with focus or emotions all seem much bigger when kids aren’t getting enough sleep. Sleep impacts children’s mood, behavior, learning, growth, and emotional health—which is why bedtime routines matter so much. When kids know what to expect at bedtime, it helps their bodies and brains feel calm, safe, and ready for sleep. And kids are much more likely to follow routines they helped create themselves!

Hi friend, I've gotten a lot of questions since last week when I sent out my "Why We Don't Do Sleepovers" infographic. Questions like: How do I talk to my kids about this without scaring them? How can I help them not feel left out? What do I do about youth camps? I answer all these questions in my full blog post .
