Rough and tumble play

Be honest: How many times have you yelled at your spouse from the other room to stop winding the kids up before bedtime?

I know it sounds counterintuitive to rile a child up before getting them to relax for the night, but your spouse (often dad 🤣) is actually on to something!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For many kids, sleep can be less restless if they have an opportunity to get that last burst of energy out before settling down for the night. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Rough and tumble play is not only a great outlet for this, but it’s also a really great way to involve both parents in the bedtime routine. ⠀

Holistic Sleep Coach

I’m Cayla Solomon — a certified holistic sleep coach specialising in responsive, root-cause sleep support for babies, children, and adults. I work with families and individuals across Canada and worldwide, and I’ve spent years studying why the standard sleep training advice so often fails the people it’s supposed to help. My approach draws on sleep science, attachment research, and the conviction that understanding your body — or your child’s — is always the first step. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions, and I’m not afraid to say so.
