The Secret to Calm Bedtimes (With Karen Brough)

Bedtime can be one of the most meaningful — and most challenging — parts of the day.

In this episode, I talk with children’s author Karen Brough about her book The Coast Is Clear and how simple bedtime rhythms can help children feel safe, calm, and connected.

We explore:
• Why bedtime stories matter more than we think
• How to ease anxiety and nighttime fears
• The power of rhythm and language in calming children
• Practical ways to create peaceful bedtime routines
• How homeschool families can extend stories into deeper conversations

If bedtime feels rushed or overwhelming, this conversation offers a gentle, realistic way forward.
