Podcast Episode 87: Listener Questions: Bedtime Routines and Sibling Fights

We get a lot of questions from parents here at No Guilt Mom. Everything from how to tame those toddler tantrums, to how can we handle those bedtime battles.

So we decided to host a podcast episode where we answer a listener’s parenting questions!

Our listener Peggy writes: “I can’t seem to get my kids (ages 2, 4 & 6) to bed on time because they are always waiting for me to come upstairs and they’re always struggling for the tv remote immediately they get home. How can I handle that?”

No worries Peggy! We’ve got you covered!

In this episode of the No Guilt Mom podcast you’ll learn:

  • Possible reasons your kids are fighting you at bedtime
  • How to set up a reliable and effective bedtime routine
  • How screens can impact your brain (especially before bedtime)
  • 4 effective ways to curb sibling fighting

Travel Snacks for Kids

Picture this: You’re on an airplane somewhere over Texas. Your kids are happy as can be until one tells you that she is hungry. Your toddler son grunts in agreement. The problem is, you have no food on you. Suddently, your once happy children transform into screaming, “hangry” demons. You begrudgingly hand over $8 to the flight attendant who gives you a box of crackers, raisins, and cheese.

I’ve learned that if my kids are eating, they’re happy. A little bit of hunger can push a bored child over the edge. While traveling, it is very difficult to find healthy and portable kid food. Especially items not loaded with sugar. I’ve found that sugar crashes are often even worse than a little bit of the “hangries.”

Are My Kids Spoiled? 3 Signs of Entitled Behavior (and what you can do!)

Walking past the Disney store, I see a kid in mid-breakdown.

Her face is red, her eyes are wet.

The woman -I can only assume is her mom – stands above her and repeats, “No, you can’t get a toy from the Disney store.”

“WHY?!?,” the little girl screams, “WHY! It’s not fair! You said we could. It’s not fair!!”

Is this little girl spoiled?
