Sleeping Well During Those (Last Few) Summer Nights

Now that we've rounded the corner that is mid-August, back-to-school ads are picking up steam. But here, we're still on "summer time" for a couple more weeks. If you're having trouble getting your kids to bed down during the (still) long, sunlight nights of summer, check out my latest King 5 Parent to Parent segment:

It's based on this blog post at the ParentMap site, which originally appeared here.

Enjoy these final, fleeting weeks of summer! I know I will. Now excuse me while I go wash up the blackberries we picked today, hang our damp swimsuits out to dry, and remind myself (over blackberries and vanilla ice cream) that summer's not gone yet.
