Um it's kind of like how we teach them.

riding a bike or anything else.

You you give them a lot of support at first and then you just back that support off.

And that one piece right there sometimes is the secret for a lot of parents where you can, you know, you can start out if you're lying fully having to lie down with your child to get them to go to sleep.

And we'll again we can talk about the nuts and bolts of this, but you can start sitting up in the bed and then after a day, sit on the floor, and then after a couple of days, move a six inches from there.

And then you know, you can break this down into very small pieces so that your child is just gradually

getting used to whatever it is you're hoping to work toward.

And I think that's the that's the key, you know.

The only other thing I would say is also setting everybody up for success.

And that means understanding your child's sensory processing sensitivities, understanding what wakes them up versus what calms them down, and then building all of that into a bedtime routine or a pre-routine routine.

So they so they're not running full bore and then you're asking them to just stop and go to sleep.

Yeah.

Well, if we think about what it takes to go to sleep, that, you know, if we really I mean, all of us

We just go to sleep.

We don't really think that there are steps you have to follow.

And if you've ever had insomnia, you realize where you where those steps fail for you, right?

Um, so one step is knowing that you're tired.

And again, I think that

not only requires a certain internal awareness, and it also requires some attention, and it also requires potentially a strength of signal.
