Emmett’s sleep problems are getting worse

I seems like I make progress with Emmett and his sleeping challenges, only to cycle back to around with the slightest disturbance in his life.

If your child only wants to wear that one shirt or those same pants every day… it’s not about being stubborn. It’s about sensory safety. As a dad, I love seeing this. This girl was clearly overwhelmed, exhausted, frustrated, hangry, or all of the above. Big other steps in and with classic big brother humor and instantly changed the course of her day. This was so amazing to watch and I dare you to watch this and not smile. 😊❤️🫶 Sometimes we feel powerless to fix the world.
