Hello Everyone,

This morning it took me 20 minutes to wake up my kids. Like most of you my family is adjusting from a more relaxed summer schedule back to a school schedule, including earlier mornings and thus earlier bed times. For us this has not always been easy as my youngest is entering Kindergarten and this morning routine and length of day is new to her. We are noticing that her emotions are bigger during the week and she is more sensitive to frustrations by the end of each day. This may sound familiar to some of you.

Today, I thought it may be helpful to speak about sleep. So, if you are interested in thoughts on   sleep and tips for promoting healthy sleep patterns in your family, I invite you to explore the post I wrote last year on the importance of sleep. It can be found at:
