You know the feeling - it's the middle of the night and a small human wakes you from your slumber and takes up residence in your bed. Caroline wants to know if it's normal for a nine year old to continue wanting to sleep in her bed, and what (if anything), she should do about it.

In this episode:
Anxiety at night

Evolving ideas around childhood
Building connection, wellbeing, belonging
Emotional regulation
Sleep matters!
