Parental preference at bedtime is VERY common among toddlers and preschoolers. I hear from families on a daily basis when their toddler prefers one parent (at bedtime).If you have a toddler, chances are you've experienced this before. Whether it's getting dressed, getting dropped off at school, or just being pushed on the swing. Kids can be very persistent when it comes to their parental preference.

Do you want a later summer bedtime (for your kids)? Today I'm going to share my top summer sleep tips for kids.  So that you can enjoy those long summer days and warm evenings WITHOUT worrying about your kids going to bed early.In this episode, I'm sharing tips on how to move your toddler's bedtime a little later during those fun-filled summer months, while ensuring they still get a good night's sleep. Yes, you might think I've gone crazy. If you've been following me for a while, you know I'm always telling you to have a nice early bedtime for your child.

Do you have the BEST bedtime routine for your 3 year old?Do you hear parents talk about having a quick bedtime routine with their kid?Maybe you wonder “How do the words QUICK and BEDTIME exist together in a sentence?!”If you're sleep training and you've gotten used to the long, drawn out bedtime matrix filled with reading a library worth of books and all kinds of requests and demands, pay attention.Today I've got the 3 keys to the best bedtime routine for your 3, 4 or 5 year old.

So, how can you prevent early morning waking in your 3 year old? You're dead asleep and then you hear it - your bedroom door creaks open and you hear tiny footsteps coming straight for you. You open one eye and see that it's 5:15am. Ugh. Why does this keep happening!!! Do you just have an early riser? Are you destined to wake up at 5am for the rest of your life?I can confidently tell you NO! Waking at 5am is not cool for anyone - kids or adults. And there are things you can do to fix it. Kids should be able to naturally sleep until at least 6am in the morning.

Let's say that your 2-year-old climbed out of the crib last night. YIKES!You've been dreading this day for a LONG time. You might think “Okay, it's time to move him to a toddler bed”NOT SO FAST!If you can keep your adventurous toddler SAFELY in the crib a little longer, you should do it. But we have to make sure they can't climb out.The freedom of the open toddler bed can be too much for young kids to handle. Switching kids out of the crib too early can cause lots of sleep issues– like refusing to stay put at bedtime, suddenly needing you to stay in the room with them or waking up overnight. Or if you're already having sleep issues with your crib-sleeper, the switch to the toddler bed will just intensify issues you're already experiencing.Kids who don't sleep well in the crib, will sleep even worse in a bed.So, if you can SAFELY keep your child in the crib without climbing out, do it.ResourcesLearn more about Jessica and Awesome Little Sleepers.Save your spot in my next free Toddler Sleep Masterclass at: ToddlerSleepMasterclass.comOther resources:Join me on Instagram @AwesomeLittleSleepersThe ONE thing you can start tonight to improve your toddler's sleep, click hereCheck out the blogWatch the YouTube channel ‘Sleep Tight Without a Fight' sleep course, click hereMy favorite sleep products, click here

“How long does sleep training take?” I get this question from parents all the time.When you use my REST Method™ which is taught in my toddler sleep course, Sleep Tight Without a Fight, the process is mapped out to take 2 weeks. Meaning, after 2 weeks, your child will be able to fall asleep by themselves without you in the room and sleep through the night until at least 6am with no wake ups. For most families, they see massive improvement in a matter of days. This could mean reduced bedtime battles, less tantruming, fewer or easier overnight wake ups.In fact, some families have ALL their sleep problems fixed in a matter of days. While other families may take up to 2 weeks or even longer. There are 2 factors that can impact how long sleep training will take with your child which I cover in detail in this podcast episode.ResourcesLearn more about Jessica and Awesome Little Sleepers.Save your spot in my next free Toddler Sleep Masterclass at: ToddlerSleepMasterclass.comOther resources:Join me on Instagram @AwesomeLittleSleepersThe ONE thing you can start tonight to improve your toddler's sleep, click hereCheck out the blogWatch the YouTube channel ‘Sleep Tight Without a Fight' sleep course, click hereMy favorite sleep products, click here

Help! My toddler won't go to bed at night.  Have you ever uttered this sentence?You've heard me say a million times that your toddler & preschool age child needs to be going to bed before 8pm. But for many families, their child just doesn't seem tired before 9 or 10pm.Kids 2-8 years old should be getting 10-12 hours of consistent sleep each night with no wake ups. And the younger the child, the more sleep they need at night. When kids don't get enough good consistent sleep every night, they won't settle at bedtime, resulting in the child getting “overtired”. This is just a sleep coach term that means your child isn't getting enough sleep and it's set off a bad cycle of poor sleep habits.Late bedtimes can lead to overnight wake ups, getting up at 5am, skipping naps. Lots of sleep problems occur because kids are overtired.When kids are overtired, it can actually mask the feeling of tiredness.
