Memorable Moments:

”Bedtime can be a very stressful time with kiddos who just…refuse, and I know as a parent we get more and more stressed.”

“We know kiddos who struggle with those exacerbated ADHD symptoms and behaviors…their nervous systems are on overdrive a lot of the time, so this means they are in that hyper-aroused state, easily activated…They’re in that chronic fight or flight mode a lot of the day.”

”Another huge reason I see is…separation anxiety.”

”Our circadian rhythms are so off with the way we live.”

”Kids often have a lot of sensory-based needs that don’t get met during the day…or movement needs.”

”For some children..sometimes they do have nightmares or night terrors or they may also have things that have happened to them in the past…that sometimes get in the way of those restful sleeps. And it can be as simple as always being in trouble at school.”

”Start with creating…that really structured, predictable, and consistent bedtime.”

”We hold the keys to our kiddos’ nervous system…so using our connection and relationship to scaffold and support that wind-down.”

”How do we as parents reconcile and come to some acceptance of this season of reality right now?”
