Ryan and Shannon Tripp
About this episode

Does your family have a bedtime routine?


If you've ever been on the rollercoaster ride of bedtime routines with your little ones, you know that it can be a mixed bag of cozy moments, laughter, and maybe a hint of chaos. 


For some of us, bedtime is an enjoyable time to recap the day with our kids, while for others, it's a bit like an action-packed movie where our patience is put to the test. But whether your evening routine is all smiles or involves a fair amount of negotiation, there's a shared bond that comes from this daily routine.


So, whether your bedtime routine is a harmonious symphony of sleepytime serenity or a chaotic whirlwind of pajamas, toys, and bedtime stalls, it's all part of the parenting journey. The ups and downs, the giggles and the grumbles – they're all part of this beautiful dance.


Tune in today as we discuss the ups and downs of putting kids to bed!



Episode Highlights: 

  • We are on different sides of the bedtime spectrum.
  • Bedtime routines and habits.
  • What do you remember about bedtime from your childhood?
  • Being your kids’ safe place to land.
  • Shifting your perspective around bedtime.
  • Finding your routine.
