How to get your n̶e̶w̶b̶o̶r̶n̶ teenager to sleep through the night

Parents of newborn babies often fret about getting their kids to sleep well. That is, when the parents are not too sleep-deprived to even fret.

Heather or Julie visit with ideas on how parents can accommodate the needs of their teens, while still making sure they take care of school and other requirements.
