Thanksgiving is this Thursday in the US, and I know many families will be gathering for a family lunch or dinner. But what if your child's nap falls right when the turkey is being carved?

In this episode, I provide a few suggestions on how to approach this scenario. The biggest takeaway I hope you get: do what is right for your family.

As the holiday season approaches, you may be planning on traveling to visit family or hosting family members who come to town. And with that, you're bound to be in a situation where someone in your family says one of the following statements about your child:

-Why do you care so much about their sleep?

-Oh, come on. Just let them stay up later.

-I didn't do that with you, and you turned out fine.

If you’re here, chances are, you care about your child sleeping well. And when you’re in a situation with people who don’t have the same philosophy or understanding of sleep, it can be tense.

In this episode, I will share three pieces of encouragement for when you encounter family who don't agree with your choices when it comes to your child's sleep.

With the holiday season upon us, you may have started planning travel arrangements. And if you're traveling by car, I have three tips to keep in mind to help make sleep less stressful for your little one while you're on the road.

Wishing you a safe and happy holiday season!
