EP 24 // Toddler Bedtime Battles: 3 Gentle Boundaries That Make Nights Peaceful Again
from Sleep Training Solutions for Christian Moms / Postpartum, Overstimulated, Christian Mom, Baby Sleep Schedule, Overwhelmed · host ALEXA MARTINEZ
Bedtime with toddlers can feel like a hostage negotiation: 47 requests for water, endless “one more story!” pleas, and a mama who is completely touched out and frustrated by 8:30 pm. In this episode, I’m breaking down why bedtime is so hard for toddlers (it’s not just “defiance”) and walking you through 3 gentle, Christ centered boundaries that make nights more peaceful again. You’ll learn how to build a simple, predictable routine, how to front load connection so your child isn’t desperate for attention at lights out, and how to hold clear, kind limits when the stalling starts-without yelling, shaming, or drowning in mom guilt.
