Bedtime battles are unfortunately common for so many families. Toddlers and young kids want to keep playing, or they want mom to sleep with them, or dad to hold their hand while they doze.

While the "answer" to sleep is not always easy, in this episode we're talking about one key piece to a calm and successful bedtime - ONE-ON-ONE TIME!

We will be talking about the "emotional piggy bank" analogy and how being mindful of our little one's "piggy banks" can help them sleep well!
