My Book: Bedtime Hearts
Written by Aly Dabbs - Certified Toddler Sleep Coach and Author
As parents, we all know that bedtime can be TOUGH - and that's probably an understatement! Bedtime Hearts is a story about a little girl, Sylvie, who is having a hard time sleeping in her own bed alone, and portrays the real life struggles that both kids and parents go through at bedtime, but... you know, with a FUN twist!
In this playful tale about bedtime, you'll see the roles reversed - with Sylvie trying to get her parents to just go to bed (and stay in their own room), but because kids don't make it easy, Sylvie has to work pretty hard.
This story is about how to overcome bedtime struggles and truly turn bedtime into this sweet bonding moment - and the best part of your day - with a few giggles along the way!
What sparked the idea for bedtime hearts
I was working one on one with a very special family who was having a hard time at bedtime with their little girl. And, you guys, this was the SASSIEST (most adorable) little girl EVER.
You see, I am a boy mom and for some crazy reason (unintentionally) I had never worked with a little girl before for sleep training. Let me tell you, this little girl made me work! I tried all of my tricks, but nothing was working! One of my ideas was a reward system or sticker chart, and she literally told her mom she didn't want it and that she could throw it in the trash! Ultimately, the mom and I worked together to figure out what would motivate this little one best – and then it all clicked into place.
One night shortly after, I was lying in bed and thought, MAN....I NEED TO WRITE THIS BOOK - A BOOK FOR KIDS THAT'S ABOUT BEDTIME AND HOW SLEEP IS GOOD FOR OUR BODIES!
DIY - PRACTICAL EXERCISE FOR PARENTS
I wanted to write a meaningful, FUN book about sleep to help kids feel excited about bedtime - annnnnd make it a little easier for parents, because let's face it.... who wants to spend 2 hours trying to get their kid in bed at the end of the day???
But I also wanted to include a practical exercise for parents so that they have a way to implement Bedtime Hearts and get sleep in a better place.
In the back of Bedtime Hearts, you'll find a DIY/ Practical Exercise with templates and instructions so that you can bring Bedtime Hearts into your own home! <3
