And then ask them what they want in the routine and like build it with them.

And then you're just, you know, again, the first couple of nights that you that you change course on them, it's liable to be bumpy, and it's okay that it's bumpy.

If you know you're asking your child to do something that's totally okay for them.

then you have to just get on that horse and kind of ride it.

But I again if the child is old enough

I I think that that you can really have them participate in it.

And then in terms of another good point is in terms of like rewards and incentives, a lot of times these guys are not into future rewards.

They can't hold it, it just doesn't motivate them.

So that idea of like, if you do a good job, if you if we check all these boxes, you get a blah, a sticker, or you get whatever doesn't doesn't work.

And parents often really feel up a creek because then they're like, well, how do I motivate them?

Really all you can do is make a big deal the next day of everything that went right and ignore the stuff that didn't.

So just make a really like a lot of good, solid praise about how well certain steps went and and then you're giving it that you're giving your attention to the stuff that that went well, um, for sure.

And kids they they do grow in their capacity for sure.

Uh, you know, and then we kind of also it occurred to me like, you know, we could do a whole thing on just anxiety around bedtime.

You know, how do you work with fears of the dark?

And there's a lot to unpack in terms of of what what makes sleep so hard for for these kids.

We'd have to talk a lot faster to fit to to fit it all in.

And then the only other thing I would talk about really quick uh just as a tangent are the physiological.

Disruptors of sleep that parents should keep an eye out for.

So these are important because there are things that look like a kiddo just doesn't want to sleep, but it's actually something physiological going on.
