It's day two of summer break and somebody's already up till midnight. Before a 10:30 bedtime turns into a 1:00 a.m. summer habit, let's talk.Creating a summer sleep schedule doesn't have to turn you into the bedtime police every night. In today's episode, I'm sharing how to create a summer sleep rhythm that actually works, gives everyone something to look forward to, and gets your kids' buy-in from the start.Because summer feels a whole lot lighter when everyone gets the sleep they need.In this episode:• Reset expectations early — have the conversation before the bedtime battles begin (Ecclesiastes 3:1 reminds us that every season has its own rhythm).• Ways to shift bedtime for summer, but keep a consistent schedule everyone can count on.• How to build in 1–2 "wild card" nights each week so the regular bedtime routine feels easier to follow.Plus, I'll share the one conversation to have this week that can dramatically reduce bedtime resistance without making you the villain.If this episode encouraged you, hit Follow so you never miss a Tuesday, and leave a review.
