Spending time as a family has been wonderful.
We’ve honestly had a lovely time but we are also allowed to feel ready for a bit of structure, routine and our own space.

The boys have got on so well. They have spent every single day together, they have nearly 4 years between them and they have done so well.

Have they had moments where they’ve bickered and annoyed each other? Of course! We’ve all had days where we’ve wanted a bit of space but they are still the best of friends and it’s beautiful to see 😍

We didn’t spend money on big days out, we didn’t always have an activity planned. Honestly, we just spent most of the time going on walks and letting the kids climb tree, find sticks and play with no plans.
No matter what you did over the summer, You did more than enough!

Myself and my husband had 1 week off over the 6 weeks and that was for our family holiday. A time to switch off and focus on us. The rest of the time we have worked incredibly hard to keep our businesses running, keep the kids entertained and do a few things for us.

There is a lot of pressure on the summer, it’s an impossibly hard thing to balance with work but we did it. Go and enjoy that coffee in silence … that exactly what I’m doing!

That groggy feeling after a nap 😵‍💫

Does your toddler ever wake from their nap and seem grumpy, clingy, emotional or just not quite themselves?

You might even think:
“They clearly needed more sleep!”

But not necessarily.

Sometimes this is sleep inertia, which is simply the groggy period we can experience when waking from sleep.

Their brain doesn’t instantly switch from asleep to fully awake, so they can need a little time to properly wake up and feel like themselves again.

And this is important…
A grumpy wake up doesn’t automatically mean they needed a longer nap.

They may simply need a little time to transition into the next part of their day.

So if you wake your toddler from their nap to protect bedtime and overnight sleep, don’t let their post nap mood make you question your decision. Try to do something fun and positive to help them
- “your favourite snack is waiting for you”
- “shall we head to the park?!”

Give them some time, cuddles, a drink, a snack, some daylight and a gentle transition.

Then hopefully that very unimpressed little face starts to disappear! 😂

Reducing nap times can feel a little daunting but it definitely protects overnight sleep.

Sometimes a danger nap can’t be avoided.

No need to panic!

If they fall asleep later in the afternoon (later than you want them to) then the best thing to do is keep the nap as short as possible. Wake them up as soon as you can.

Will they be slightly moody? Yes probably a little, BUT it’s the best way to avoid a crazy late bedtime.

❗️Important tip:
Focus on fun and silliness for that last stretch to bedtime after a danger nap - this keeps the mood light, helps them cheer up after the disappointment of waking them up.
PLUS it helps them build up that sleep pressure ready for bedtime again.

⭐️Watch them carefully:
The danger nap has provided them with a little pocket of rest, this means we now need to work out the most sensible bedtime.

The chances are, if the danger nap was under 10 minutes long, they should be ok with bedtime being roughly normal time, possibly 10/15 minutes later than normal based on the time of that danger nap.

If the danger nap was longer than 10 minutes then you are likely to need to push bedtime later, this is all based on the time of that nap and how tired they seem. Keeping a close eye on how they are as you get closer to bedtime to make the best decision.

If your toddler seems to struggle to make it to bedtime without a danger nap regularly then it’s possible their routine might need looking into to check it’s meeting their sleep needs.

Some children find bedtimes tricky, they are very aware that bedtime means a long stretch of time away from you, it feels different to naps (if still having them).

How we talk to our children has a huge impact on their ability to follow instructions, complete tasks and communicate with you.

Using playful language comes across to them as zero pressure, it’s not being made to be a big deal and there is less risk of them feeling anxious of the idea of bedtime. You may be able to avoid the push back.
It becomes part of your playtime, a natural progression into your bedtime routine.

Managing bedtime battles and big feelings around bedtime is one of my specialties.

I have so many tools and confidence building tips to share. This topic is something I could talk about for hours!

They need connection with you
They need a sense of control
They need to feel loved
They need a fun, positive bedtime routine
They need clear boundaries and routines
They need one to one time with you

At the end of a long day we are ready for them to go to bed, we are probably a little touched out, impatient and tired. Bedtime is probably the most important time of the day for you to build a strong connection with your child.

This is the ultimate time to focus on love, attention, enjoyment and positivity.

Make it fun! Fill them with love! You want them to go to bed happy, get those giggles out, last burst of energy out before bed. Keeping them wide awake during the bedtime routine will help them fall asleep once in bed.

Try it!
