For many parents of neurodivergent children, bedtime is one of the hardest and most stressful times of the day. If this is true for you and your family, you're not alone, as many neurodivergent individuals find sleep challenging.
In this episode, I chat with Laura Hellfeld, neurodivergent nurse and sleep consultant.
Here are some of the topics we discussed:
- Changing the paradigm from traditional parenting perspectives on sleep and bedtime to a more connection-oriented approach.
- Helpful insights to support parents at bedtime.
- Giving yourself permission to listen to your child and your intuition and take the road of least resistance at bedtime.
