Happy New Years Eve!! I’ve been asked what my thoughts are on how to handle bedtime on such a night as this. Especially as kids get older and they feel the fun of the night, they don’t want to miss a thing! But staying up to midnight might not work for your kiddos. The one thing to consider that works in our favour this year is that school doesn’t start back up again until the 8th of January. So if you know you have some slower days ahead where you can enforce a quiet time in the afternoon and an early bedtime, you may want to push the limits tonight so you children can join in on the festivities. This is where you know your children best, so do what works for your family and have some fun tonight. Here’s a great article from my colleague at Good Night Sleep Site Halton with options to celebrate with your kids tonight.

Can anyone else relate?

Wishing you all the Merriest of Christmases and a wonderful Holiday Season. I have taken some time this week for family and friends, but will be up and running again on January 8th. May you have a peaceful holiday with time to focus on loved ones who surround you. Merry Christmas!

What a Christmas treat this is! If you want to see this place for yourself, it’s at 203 Mitchell St in Ayr! It’s amazing!!! Happy Holidays!

Amazing!! What a gift this is for this awesome family! How lucky am I to do this work and help families get the sleep they need? Waking up to comments like this continues to inspire me. Great job guys!!

This is a great reminder about how to keep things in perspective over the holidays. After speaking to a very wise friend of mine, we also have followed the "something you want, something you need, something to wear, something to read" gift buying strategy this year. It has eased my stress and I think the boys will have more appreciation for their gifts. What are ways you help to focus on what the holidays mean to you?

I can never hear the message enough. Responding to your child with empathy is SO powerful with so many far reaching benefits. "The empathic response requires the parent shift from how they feel, to how the child feels. It’s emotional attunement." How quickly we forget to slow down and take the time to think before we react. I love this article for those of you with older kids.
