In this episode, I talk about why children aren't fighting sleep, and why we're often fighting their natural relaxation response.

I share concisely about how we can trust children and follow their lead and can then cooperate with their natural relaxation response.

I explain the power of play before bed, and why we can look at the "it'll all end in tears" phenomenon in a very different light.

At the end, I share a story from a child's perspective that comes from my latest best-selling book, 'I'm Here and I'm Listening.'

The book has a chapter on sleep.

If you want to understand more about sleep and Aware Parenting, there is the first sleep series already recorded, and I will be starting a second series soon, to correspond with my next book, which is about sleep and Aware Parenting.
