Sleep for Children and Early Memories

Family Matters is a conversation sparked by parents, for parents, where we explore the issues that matter to you and navigate the challenges we all face.&nbsp;We are not experts but rather every day moms learning by trial and error. Our biggest hope for is that you walk away feeling a little more informed and above all &ndash; understood&hellip;like we get you because we&rsquo;re in it too.
Host Laurel Gregory is an award-winning journalist who has worked in Canadian media for 16 years. The mother of two co-created Family Matters in 2016 in order to create a reliable source of information to both educate and entertain parents. She secretly envies parents who raised children prior to the information age and is confident that &ndash; big or small - a walk in the woods and a good night&rsquo;s sleep cures all.
Producer Christine Meadows has been with Global Edmonton for a decade, minus the 2 years spent on maternity leave with her boys. She is constantly navigating balance in her life as a working mom who loves her boys but also loves her &ldquo;me time&rdquo;. She fears screen time is going to be her biggest life regret and is still trying to ditch social media after-hours to be more present
