When Everyone Needs Sleep with Kristjana H.

Kristjana has three kids. The second used to be a great sleeper, but since moving to a toddler bed, his sleep is much more sporadic, and bedtime often results in tears and fighting. Kristjana just wants a good night's sleep for her son and herself.

Today, we talk about how Kristjana can make the most of bedtime and let her son know that she wants to be with him and that he's always welcome to join his parents next to their bed. We talk about the power of a sleeping bag, and we discuss how Kristjana can make bedtime more relaxing for her son. We also talk about how to transition to life with a new baby.

"It makes a difference when you tell your child that being with them and playing with them really matters to you."

- Sue Groner
