As summer approaches each year, Allison gets questions about relaxed summer bedtime schedules. Parents wonder whether they can shift bedtime later when kids don’t need to wake for school. Or they need help explaining to their child why they have to go to bed when it’s still light outside.

In today’s episode, Allison will address some things to keep in mind if you’re thinking about summer sleep schedules. She’ll cover how to know if your child can be flexible with their sleep schedule or if they are more sensitive to bedtime changes. She’ll give you some language to use if your child is asking why they need to go to bed when it’s still light outside and how to keep your child’s room dark all year long.
