In today's episode of How Long 'Til Bedtime?, Allison dives into one of the trickiest screen-time boundaries parents face: screens in the bedroom.

Allison has always held a strong stance—no TVs, tablets, or phones in children's bedrooms—and she's breaking down exactly why this boundary matters, why it's hard, and how to make it stick, even as kids get older.

Inside the episode, you'll hear:

• Why screens in the bedroom can disrupt melatonin, sleep onset, and overall sleep quality

• How the "one more video" cycle impacts bedtime behavior and makes transitions harder

• The mental health risks associated with private, unsupervised screen use

• Why keeping screens in shared spaces protects kids emotionally and socially

• The simple logistical systems Allison uses in her own home (parental controls, charging stations, and more)

• What to do if you're starting this boundary late — including the exact script Allison uses when changing screen rules

• Encouragement for holding firm, even when kids push back

Whether you're parenting toddlers, big kids, or middle schoolers, this episode offers practical steps, compassionate support, and a strong reminder that: Screens aren't going anywhere, but bedrooms can—and should—remain a place for rest, calm, and connection.

In this episode of How Long 'Til Bedtime?, Allison shares the story behind a moment of holiday reflection that shifted her entire approach to the season. After attending a women's brunch centered around intention—not perfection—she found herself wondering how she truly wants to move through December, especially in a year filled with travel, transitions, and a quieter Christmas at home.

A conversation at the dinner table with her kids opened her eyes to what actually matters most to them during the holidays—and spoiler alert: it wasn't big events, complicated outings, or long lists of gifts. Their top priorities were simple, connected, meaningful… and surprisingly easy to honor.

Inside the episode, Allison explores:

• How an intentional gathering inspired a reset in her approach to the holidays

• Why asking kids what they value can change everything

• The three simple traditions her children named as their must-dos

• How small, slow moments often hold the most magic

• The power of curiosity before the calendar fills up with "shoulds"

• A few simple prompts you can use tonight to learn what matters most to your kids

If the holiday season already feels overwhelming—or if you've ever felt pressure to create the "perfect" December—this episode is your reminder:
You get to choose.
Your family gets to choose.
And intention often begins with one small question.

In this episode of How Long 'Til Bedtime?, we dive into one of the most common questions parents ask: How long does sleep training actually take — and how can you tell if it's working? Allison breaks down the realistic timeline she sees when working one-on-one with families, why the process isn't always linear, and what improvement should look like in the first week.

You'll learn:

• What progress typically looks like from night one through week two

• Why night four is a key milestone for evaluating success

• The difference between night sleep improvements and nap stabilization

• How temperament and method impact the timeline

• Why "sleep training" is more than just cry-it-out or choosing another method

• Red flags that signal your approach needs adjusting

• When it's time to reach out for professional support

Allison also explains why you shouldn't feel stuck in sleep training mode for weeks or months, and how small tweaks to schedule, method, or consistency can often make a significant difference.
