We teach our kids “why”s all day long…

We have to shut the door so bugs don’t fly in, or so we don’t waste the AC. We have to buckle up in the car so we are safe. We cover our mouth when we cough so we don’t spread our germs.

From my experience as a mom and a sleep consultant, however, parents don’t usually teach their kids about sleep as explicitly, but we can and I think we should!

So in this episode, I’m sharing different ways we can talk about sleep with our kids:

• Why they have to sleep with their door closed
• Why they can't watch TV right before bed
• Why the lights have to be off
• Why they even have to sleep

And more!

The goal here is to not only teach them more about sleep and how it works, but to also equip them to start taking more ownership over their sleep that will even serve them into adulthood!
