Getting your toddler to STAY in their bed and to stop sleeping in your bed can be a hard habit to break.
While lots of parents love to have the kids, all jumping in and cuddling up on a Saturday morning, night after night of interrupted sleep isn’t funny for anyone.

I interview Emma Turner on balance in leadership and family life.
Emma's book on leadership is so inspiring, funny and relatable that you can't put it down.
Her intelligent and compelling narrative is full of original insights. It is a great mix of serious, funny, emotional, and all of it engaging from the first page. I would recommend this book to anyone in education - including current leaders, aspiring leaders and classroom teachers, after all we're all leading someone, whether it is students or staff. Emma's ideas are refreshing and exciting. Brilliant!
Emma is also the self titled 'Chaos Coordinator' of her home in Leicestershire where she lives with her infinitely patient husband Tom and their three young children - take a listen.
