I had a chance to sit down with Jessica from Awesome Little Sleepers to talk about how parents can help their children manage big feelings, talk about COVID-19 with their kids, and the important of practicing self-care. 

Jessica is a Nationally Certified Toddler Sleep Consultant that helps parents develop bedtime routines and create healthy sleep routines individualized for family.

During our real talk session, Jessica and I talked all about different strategies. Here’s the Cliff’s Note Version: 

1. How to set up a POSITIVE time out space

2. Why moms need time outs, too!

3. What our kids meltdown are telling us

4. How taking time for ourselves helps us as parents

5. Secret nuggets of time where we could be making better mental health choices

Hope you enjoy our real talk! We didn’t hold anything back!
