Sleep. It seems simple, until a parent hands you a sleep plan at drop-off. In this episode, we sit down with Alex Weehuizen, sleep consultant and early childhood teacher, to unpack one of the most common tensions in early childhood education: what happens when home sleep routines meet the realities of care. From settling struggles to the "please wake my child after 20 minutes" conversation, Alex brings practical insight, real talk, and a whole lot of reassurance for educators navigating sleep every single day.
