Hey all. I'm Kim Wheeler Poitevien, LCSW and child therapist. COVID-19 or any other crisis can through everyone off of their routines. In my practice, I've noticed that sleep is often a casualty. When we are anxious, stressed, sad, and afraid our sleep can suffer. The funny thing is that improving sleep can reduce anxious and depressive symptoms. I know firsthand how difficult it can be to manage your little and big kiddos' sleep routines. Here are a few tips that I have found helpful. Feel free to share and I definitely have more to share!
