Which will you choose today?
CAREGIVER NOTE:
Sometimes, a do-over is a good thing! Moods, feelings and emotions from bad dreams are often difficult to reset. Listen and let them talk it out. Once they’re ready to move on, invite them to join you for a bit of food (that will often tip the scales on resetting the mood). In our case, a light breakfast of his choosing was enough to move forward. After eating and talking for a little longer, he wanted to go back to bed (5:30 am was a little too early for him). When he got up again at his regular time, he was fine and didn’t remember having been up earlier. He was ready for the day.
