About this Workshop

Is bedtime a battle in your house? You’re not alone. From stalling, tantrums, and night wakings in toddlers to worries and fears anxiety, nightmares, and late-night screen habits in school-aged kids, sleep problems are among the most common—and exhausting—challenges parents face.

Watch Lisa Meltzer, PhD for this recorded workshop where she’ll take the stress out of bedtime and help you better understand your child’s sleep. You’ll learn what healthy sleep really looks like, what might be getting in the way of restful nights, and how to create routines that work for your family.

Whether your preschooler still needs a nap or your 8-year-old can’t fall asleep without you, we’ll offer clear, evidence-based tools that make bedtime smoother and mornings a whole lot easier.

After this workshop, you will be able to:

  • Recognize what’s typical (and what’s not) in sleep patterns for ages 2–10
  • Understand how naps, schedules, and overstimulation affect nighttime sleep
  • Apply proven strategies to help your child fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer
  • Establish consistent, calming bedtime routines—even if your evenings are busy
  • Set loving, effective boundaries around bedtime without guilt
  • Support your child’s sleep needs through transitions, anxiety, and growing independence
