During the summer it’s totally normal for bedtimes to creep later and later. Getting back to your school routine doesn’t have to be bad.

For the next few weeks, I want to focus on things that are “back to school” related. Today, let’s talk about melatonin. With a few relatively easy changes to your bedtime routine, you can help your child’s melatonin production and not need to supplement it. So, let’s learn how.

Are you interested in working with me one on one but don’t know what it entails? Let me walk you through what that looks like.

Knowing overtired signs is just as important as knowing sleepy signs. The words I usually use to describe an overtired child are “wired” and “crazy”, which usually presents a short time after your child shows tired signs.

A bedtime routine should be fairly consistent, although a few differences in how each parent does bedtime is normal.

Consistent bedtime routine, consistent time for bed, and consistently offering enough sleep time are all things that will help your child.
