Creating Healthy Sleep Habits with Tweens and Teens
For Parents of children ages 11-18
This webinar is for parents who are beyond the “bath – brush teeth – bedtime” routines and are working to help their tweens and teens establish independence and healthy sleep habits.
This can be a challenging time, as adolescents are actually hard-wired to stay up late and sleep in. Pushing back on parents’ efforts to ensure a good night’s sleep leads to regular conflicts around getting to bed and getting up in the morning in time for school.
Add in concerns about how tech use affects sleep, and the full scope of challenges for parents and their tweens and teens comes into focus. How can parents and their kids work together to determine healthy sleep habits and decrease the level of conflict at home?
In this webinar, you’ll learn how to:
- Communicate your concerns and messages so your tween/teen can receive them
- Engage in collaborative problem-solving
- Troubleshoot when your plans don’t work as expected
- Your enrollment includes access to the video recording, an audio version that you can listen to podcast-style, and handouts.

"I enjoyed the program. I really liked hearing the strategies and then a real life scenario that actually pertained to me and how to step-by-step use the strategy to solve the problem."

"I liked it! It's not always easy to attend classes in-person, so the online class is very convenient and conducive for both parents to participate."
