About this episode
What if bedtime battles aren't about defiance—but about a child's fear of missing out on the magic that happens after dark? In this episode, retired teacher and children's author Patti Pavolko shares how her granddaughter's bedtime struggles inspired While Their Parents Were Sleeping, a book that transforms nightly resistance into intergenerational wonder. From blackberry-loving bears to unicorn rides on sparkling gemstone paths, Patti reveals how her rural Pennsylvania childhood and grandparent adventures create stories that help kids embrace sleep.
