Creating Emotional Safety for Your Child at Bedtime for Better Sleep

In this solo episode of The We Nurture Podcast, Chinyelu shares insights to help you navigate one of the most tender parts of the day for your child: bedtime. If your child resists going to sleep, expresses fears at night, or needs more from you at bedtime than you feel you have to give, you’re not alone. This episode explores why bedtime can bring so many big feelings to the surface—and how you can lovingly support your child through them, without losing your own sense of calm.
