Witching hour

Okay kiddo, have you ever had a time of day where you feel really grumpy or suddenly start crying even if nothing bad happened? That's kind of like the Witching Hour.

The Witching Hour usually happens at a certain time of day, usually in the evening around dinner time or when it's getting dark outside. Some people believe that during this time, magic things happen and spirits come out to play.

But don't worry, it's not actually magic or spirits causing the Witching Hour. It's just that sometimes babies and young children can get really overtired and fussy when they are awake for too long or have a hard time settling down for the night.

Parents and caregivers might use techniques like rocking, singing lullabies or holding them close to help calm them down. So, while the Witching Hour can be a bit scary or frustrating, it's just a normal part of being a little one and it won't last forever.
