When Bedtime Becomes a Battleground: It’s About Regulation, Not Failure

Описание: As part of Sleep Awareness Month, we’re continuing our important conversations around children’s sleep, this time with Helen Rutherford, Sleep Practitioner at The Sleep Charity and member of our PeacePath® Circle of Experts.

In this 10-minute discussion, we explore children’s sleep through a regulation lens, not perfection, not pressure, and not one-size-fits-all routines, but what truly helps when evenings feel heavy and emotions spill out at bedtime.

Helen has supported children and families for decades, particularly those with additional needs and heightened emotional or sensory experiences. This conversation is practical, compassionate, and grounded in real-life experience.

In this session, we explore:
• One key sleep insight every parent should hear
• A common sleep myth to gently rethink
• What supporting children’s sleep really looks like in everyday life

These conversations are designed to be thoughtful, evidence-led, and genuinely useful, not quick tips or soundbites, but space to reflect on what actually supports families and professionals in practice.

If this topic resonates with your work or your home life, we’re so glad you’re here.
