Over 5,500 young adolescents and young adults die each year in car crashes, thousands more sustain injuries. So how can we help keep our kids safe on the road? Be a role model. What does that look like?

Don’t text and drive. Most of us didn’t have to worry about this when we were learning to drive, but texting is one of the leading causes of distracted driving. Picture this, at 60mph if you take your eyes off the road for just 5 seconds, the car will travel the length of 1.5 football fields. Make sure to check your teens cell phone for modes that can minimize receiving texts and other notifications while driving.

Obey traffic signals. While rolling a stop sign or driving over the speed limit may seem like minor violations, it is important to demonstrate that all traffic signals should be treated equally and obeyed.

Wear your seat belt. Not only are you keeping yourself safe, you’re setting a good example. Even during those brief moments of rearranging cars on the driveway or as a passenger make sure to buckle up, your children are always watching.

🚍✨ Back to school means back to the bus! Let’s make every ride to school a safe one! 🚌

With kids back in school, we thought it would be a good time to review bus safety. Here are some tips to keep your kiddos safe:

Stand at least 10 feet back from the curb in a safe spot, away from the street. The bus driver may not see children who are too close to the bus. Flashing yellow lights mean the bus is getting ready to stop.

When getting on or off, always check that the bus’s safety lights are flashing.
Wait until the driver signals that it’s safe before boarding.
Show respect to the driver and follow their instructions.

Stay seated while the bus is moving.
If you drop something near or under the bus, let the driver know—never try to get it yourself.

As you step off the bus, stop and look both ways.

If you need to cross the street, wait until the driver says it’s safe. Always cross in front of the bus, making eye contact with the driver. Never cross behind the bus, since the driver won’t be able to see you.

Now, let’s talk about how to sleep train—because good sleep isn’t just a dream! 🌙✨

Next up are 2 techniques that have been found to be most effective for sleep training. Check it out!

2 techniques have been found to be the most effective.
Cry it out method. This is often the hardest method for parents but it’s also the fastest way to sleep train your baby. They will cry, and that’s ok! With consistency your baby can be sleep trained within a week. The cry it out method involves placing your baby in their crib and leaving the room. The next time you would tend to them is for their next feed or the next morning!

The Ferber method. This method involves putting the baby down, when they are drowsy - not asleep, and checking back in on them at certain time intervals. For example, let’s say you put the baby down and they start to cry. You would let them cry for 5 minutes then go check on them. It’s important to remember to try to not pick them up when you enter the room. Try to settle them from the doorway if you can. Once settled, leave the room and then re-enter after 10 minutes - if they’re still crying. Keep extending the interval, the idea is, as the interval increases in time they will fall asleep!

There’s not always a one size fits all solution for sleep training. Patience and consistency are key to whatever approach you implement.

The goal of sleep training is to help your baby learn how to fall asleep — and stay asleep — on their own. When they wake up in the night (which all babies do!), they’ll start learning to settle themselves back to sleep. Once sleep-trained, many babies can start to string together longer stretches of sleep. Better sleep means happier, more well-rested babies and parents — which makes life better for the whole family! Naps are still part of the routine, but those long stretches of nighttime sleep can be a game changer, especially for tired parents! 😉😴💤

Tired of bedtime battles? We’ve got you! 😴🛏️
Our upcoming posts on sleep training are here to help your little ones (and you) get the rest you need. First up, a quick Q&A!

What is sleep training?

Sleep training is the process by which parents are allowing their babies to develop the skills necessary to become an independent sleeper.

When can I start sleep training my baby?

4 months is the earliest we recommend sleep training. Prior to this age success is difficult to achieve.

Is there anything I can do before 4 months?

Before 4 months of age, you can set up a bedtime routine starting between 1-2 months. An example could be (apply moisturizer, jammies on, story time, prayers, bedtime). Try to avoid putting baby down when they are already asleep. Lots of babies love falling asleep while feeding or lying down on a parent (who can blame them?!). Unfortunately, this can become a sleep association for your baby and they may struggle to fall back asleep without these associations later in the night. Instead put your baby in their crib/bassinet when they’re drowsy but not fully asleep. If you haven't already, try putting your baby to bed while drowsy but not fully asleep.

Stay tuned for our next posts on how to sleep train!
