DAMChats 10) Rethinking Sleep Training: Building Connection and Bonds at Bedtime

Bedtime is often the most exhausting part of a parent's day. We’re tired, our kids are wired, and social media tells us they "should" be falling asleep independently by now. In this episode of DAMChats, Eva and Maren are joined by Zyanya from Adapting to Love to take a warm, honest, and direct look at the reality of the evening shuffle.

Inspired by a viral glimpse into Zyanya’s own family routine, we dismantle the unrealistic expectation that children should just "shut down" on command. We share our real-life experiences of choosing to stay until sleep arrives, transforming a stressful power struggle into a vital moment of connection. If you’ve ever felt like the only parent still sitting on a bedroom floor at 8:30 PM, tune in to hear why prioritizing the bedtime bond might be exactly what your child—and your nervous system—actually needs.
