Parents of the Year
We were never given a manual on how to parent. It is easy to get overwhelmed to know the right thing to do. There is so much contradictory information out there and everyone has their own advice. Parenting is a rewarding but messy, confusing, infuriating, guilt-inducing, and overwhelming journey. While it's easy to get lost, Andrew Stewart, a real dad, and Dr. Caroline Buzanko, a real mom, child psychologist, and parenting expert (who also happens to be married to Andrew) will help you get back on track. In each episode, Andrew and Caroline have open and honest chats about everything parenting. Join them in honesty, laughter, and tears (Caroline is a bit of a cry baby) as they help you navigate this journey of parenting. And, every so often, you may get some gems of expert advice. Our goal is to make your parenting journey less stressful, more forgiving, and more awesome. Please join us every Wednesday for new episodes of Parenting of the Year.

In today's episode, Andrew and Caroline discuss whether parents should debrief the day before bedtime. While there are certainly some benefits, like giving parents quality time to connect with their kids, there are definitely drawbacks, like creating more stress for everyone that can disrupt our sleep quality.
Be sure to listen in to consider the pros and cons of debriefing the day before bedtime and create a bedtime routine that works best for your family.
