All right parents, the moment you've been waiting for. On this week's episode, we're talking Bedtime strategies.

Just like last week, the key to success in establishing or approaching any routine is communication. And the best way to communicate with your toddler is by using the visual schedule. Empowering your child by giving them choices on what pajamas they get to wear, what book's your gonna read, will give your child confidence, more accountability, and help reduce stress, which will make bedtime more enjoyable for you, your toddler, and your entire family.

I also talk about the importance of making sure that your child's day includes "quiet time" Parents, if you were looking for a magic wand or secret-ingredient to a successful bedtime routine, this is it!

On today's episode, I tackle one of the most frequent questions I receive from clients: how do I get my child to sit at the table and eat?

Mealtimes are incredibly important for your child's growth and development. A little bit of time spent planning ahead can ensure that mealtimes are enjoyable for you, your child, and the entire family!

In this episode, I explain how setting rules, expectations, and encouraging participation helps your child develop healthy routines, pre-mealtime, mealtime, and post-mealtime. The routines make your child feel more confident, secure, and recognized. With some persistence mealtimes will soon become some of the most enjoyable parts of you, and your child's day.

This week, I challenge all of my listeners to start creating routines that include rules expectations, and participation for your next mealtime!
