Kids are amazingly resilient.

And it seems that the time they are at their most resilient is bedtime!

It feels like kids learn delaying tactics from a very young age and are not afraid to use these tactics when it is time to go to sleep.

It's never easy to watch your child when they are ill. This is especially true when they are younger, and they don't always understand what's happening and can't communicate how they are feeling.

They simply know something isn’t right and often aren’t aware that you are trying to fix it for them.

“I wish I’d asked for help sooner.” This is one of the most common things I hear from parents who have struggled with a child who doesn’t sleep, and finally found their way out the other side.

But sadly, many parents don’t reach out until they’ve been in survival mode for far too long, exhausted and running on empty.
