Take the Stress Out of Bedtime: Better Sleep for Families

Originally recorded on January 22, 2026, with Ruth E. Freeman, LCSW, and Lisa J. Meltzer, Ph.D., CBSM


This Peace At Home Parenting Lunch & Learn conversation tackles one of the most common (and exhausting) parenting challenges: getting kids to sleep.

If bedtime in your home feels more like a showdown than a wind-down - stalling, tantrums, bedtime anxiety, nightmares, or late-night screens - you’re not alone. In this practical, research-informed session, Peace At Home Parenting founder Ruth Freeman, LCSW, sits down for a conversation with expert Lisa Maltzer, Ph.D., who shares tools to help you understand what healthy sleep looks like at different ages and how to build routines that work for your family.

You’ll learn:
- What to expect from sleep at different ages (including naps, night waking, and bedtime fears)
- How to create consistent routines that reduce stress and power struggles
- What to do when your child “can’t fall asleep without you”
- How screens and technology can impact bedtime and sleep quality
- Simple strategies that make mornings easier, too

This is one of many previously recorded expert-led conversations from our vault that we’re sharing to make practical parenting support more accessible to families.
