About This Episode:

Today I want to talk about sleep as it is certainly a big issue for not only kids in general but more specifically gladiator kids and even us as parents. This can be especially true right after a high anxiety holiday like Halloween and or the upcoming time change that happens at the beginning of November. Sleep patterns get thrown off or completely tossed out the window.

The good news is that if you or your kids are having trouble sleeping there are strategies you can use to not only help yourself but also give your kids a good grounding in what it means to get to sleep and sleep well.  Join me today to hear what they are and how you can best apply them to both your kids and yourself.

Together let’s develop good sleeping habits that will last a lifetime.
