198. How do sleep habits impact the health and wellness of your kids? [with Jessica Bryant]


Listen Later

Are your kids ever irritable, anxious, or just "off"?

Maybe they aren't getting enough sleep.

You might be surprised how inadequate or inconsistent sleep habits can negatively impact your kid's ability to focus, tolerate stress, and manage relationships.  Lack of sleep increases fatigue, affects mood, and decreases overall wellness.   

In fact, our guest Jessica Bryant says there really isn't any health concern we might have for our kids that isn't impacted by sleep — particularly their mental health.

Jessica has helped over 2000 families across 5 different countries to create healthy sleep habits.  She's done that using her unique combination of professional experience as an early childhood intervention specialist and her personal focus on creating healthy sleep routines with her own children. 

In this episode, Jessica shares some simple steps that can make a massive difference and increase wellness in your family by promoting healthy sleep habits.

You'll Discover:

  • The real risks and health concerns for kids struggling with sleep deprivation 
  • Practical tips around healthy sleep habits for kids of all ages
  • How to implement new habits as a family to promote wellness through sleep
  • Encouragement and positive ways to approach sleep issues in your home — even when your kids' other home operates differently.
