The Science of Kid Sleep With Dr. Joe Dzierzewski
from What I Wish I Knew : A Podcast About Pregnancy, Parenting, and Women's Health
Dr. Joe Dzierzewski is a clinical psychologist, sleep scientist, and Senior Vice President of Research and Scientific Affairs at the National Sleep Foundation — aka one of the most qualified people we've ever had on the show.We get into everything parents of toddlers, school-age kids, and teens actually need to know about sleep: how much kids really need at every age (spoiler: probably more than you think), why tired kids often look like the opposite of tired, how everything you do during the day sets the stage for sleep that night, and why modeling good sleep habits matters more than you realize.We also talk school start times, bedtime routines, sleep products that aren't worth your money, and why consistency is the only real hack.Follow Dr. Joe and the National Sleep Foundation: @sleepfoundationFollow WIWIK on Instagram: @whatiwishiknew_Music by Ben ScottMotion Design by Banona.co
