Q&A: My 3-year-old twins used to be good sleepers, but all of a sudden they are both struggling - help!

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg and I talk about...

Why sleep challenges often emerge around age 3 (Hint: developmental leaps, dropped naps, and growing imaginations all play a role).
How to differentiate between bedtime battles, middle-of-the-night wake-ups, and nightmares—and why the strategies might look different for each.
Practical ways to set limits and routines with confidence so kids feel safe and contained, rather than running the show.
Special considerations for twins, including when it might make sense to separate them temporarily at night.
How to care for yourself as a parent during exhausting phases, so you can show up with more calm and confidence.

If bedtime has turned into a nightly struggle in your home, this episode offers validation, perspective, and concrete tools to help everyone get a little more rest.
