ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
Know the reason. Hold the bedtime. Bedtime battles grow when "one more sip of water" works some of the time, and it works because you've stopped believing your own rule. In this video, a clinical psychologist and mom of four gives you the reason behind an early bedtime and the exact words to hold it.
You'll get the hours of sleep your child needs at every age, how to work backward to the right bedtime, and how to build a bedtime routine that leaves nothing to bargain over.
The sleep hours come from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine's consensus statement (Paruthi et al., 2016). The finding on short sleep and behavior comes from Gruber et al. (2012), published in Pediatrics.
In this video:
→ The one sentence that ends the nightly "one more"

→ How many hours of sleep kids need at every age
→ How to work out your child's bedtime from the morning backward
→ Exact words for the sip of water, the second bathroom trip, and "I'm not tired"
