Transitioning from a crib to a toddler bed may seem minor to us, but it can be a very uncomfortable change for a child. But, with a mindful and loving approach, the transition to a big kid bed won’t be so disruptive or anxiety-inducing for your little explorer. You may still experience a bumpy patch for a few weeks as your child adjusts to the new sleep space, but it will be manageable and short lived so long as they are prepared. In this blog, we tell you how.

Transitions can be really hard for kids of any age, and the back to school transition is one of the toughest. Here's the conundrum: bedtimes get later as the summer progresses (following the natural rhythm of the sun), often reaching their latest just in time for early school bells. Without advanced preparation, this can lead to some major overtiredness and sleep debt in that first week or two of school. Your kids will lose an hour or two of sleep until they adapt to their new routine and start falling asleep earlier.

Being overtired is not great for quality rest and sleep debt is not good for learning, executive functioning, or your child's mood — and definitely not the best way to start the school year.

Follow these sleep tips to get your little one, and yourself, and your biological clocks ready for #backtoschool.
