The Fairies and the Moon Party

I was skeptical about trying Medtime as my family and me have never done meditation or anything like it before. I am so glad we gave it a go! Before using Medtime stories, bedtime was not always easy. I have two boys, ages 6 and 3.5 years old and they’ve never been excited about going to bed. They are generally good sleepers and bedtime isn’t a battle but it’s far from seamless. Our biggest issue has been winding down and being ready for sleep - ‘switching off’. Our 6 year old would sometimes be awake for over and hour after bedtime before he would fall asleep and our 3.5yo just loved to push the boundaries with needing another cuddle, the toilet etc (I think he also gets FOMO). Medtime has changed everything about bedtime - the boys want to go to bed, they are excited to hear the stories and the time together feels really special. The stories had an immediate result with my 6 year old, he was asleep within 2 minutes of finishing the story. The next night he asked if he could go to bed (before his usual bedtime) and have the same story. He was really engaged with the somatic exercises and each night has had the same result - asleep within minutes. We have just read the Fairies and the Moon Party story and I asked Joe how he felt afterwards and he said he “felt like he was in the middle of so much love” (I have never heard him talk about being surrounded or ‘in’ a feeling). With my 3.5yo it has had much the same result - falling asleep more quickly and far less restless, I just found I needed to practice the breathing and stretches with him earlier in the day. Thanks Medtime, this has changed up our nights for the best and I don’t think the benefit of connection can be emphasised enough, it’s been special for me too!
