Sleep Guide: 6 to 8 Years

You've been doing this for years. You deserve evenings that are finally yours.

At 6, 7, 8 years old, sleep struggles look different. It's not crying, it's negotiating. It's not waking for feeds, it's school worries that surface the moment the light goes off. It's a child who says they're not tired at 8pm and then completely falls apart at 8:15.

This guide was written for this exact age, with the child in front of you in mind.

This guide is for you if...

• Your child negotiates, argues, and reappears six times after you've said goodnight
• Nightmares and school worries are disrupting the whole family
• Starting primary school has destroyed the routine you'd built
• Your child says they're "not tired" at 8pm, then completely falls apart at 8:15
• You're done with bedtime being the most stressful part of your day

What's inside

• Understanding what's really driving the resistance at this age, so you respond to what's actually there
• Tools that build genuine independence, not just bedtime compliance, but inner security that lasts
• How to handle school anxiety that surfaces at night, gently and effectively
• Night terrors and nightmares: what to do, what not to do, and how to help them become less frequent
• A concrete plan for resetting your routine after the school transition
• How to shorten the bedtime window without it becoming a battle
