Is your child struggling with sleep during the Covid-19 lockdown? You are not alone. Many parents are struggling with sleep during the quarantine. I reached out and heard from hundreds of parents about their struggles. I found a few types of problems. Here, I review them and also talk about what you can do about them

The most common problems:
Start 0:00
1. Children shifting sleep schedules later (1:34)
2. Conflict at bedtime and nap time (5:10)
3. Middle of the night awakenings (7:27)

Many families noted some unexpected silver linings as well.


What you can do:
* Limit time shift to 1 hour before puberty and 2 hours for teens
* Manage screen and light exposure
* Respect your routines
* Limit discussion of upsetting topics around your child
* Have the evenings be relaxed
* Outdoor exercise!!!
* Give yourself a break
* And puppies. Always puppies (13:40)
