DO YOU DREAD BEDTIME?
Do you spend hours trying to get your baby or toddler to sleep every night? Do you feel anxious as night approaches thinking about how many times you and your child will be up through the night? Have you read all the books and all the sleep training blogs and yet nothing is working or even making any sense?
You are not alone. Many parents are feeling exactly the same way when it comes to their family’s sleep. As parents we teach an endless list of lessons to our children. Everything from how to hold their own bottle to how to use their manners. We also need to teach them healthy sleep habits. After all, healthy sleep habits contribute to a healthy childhood. But with all the conflicting information out there the task can seem overwhelming. I am here to help!
I am dedicated to helping families find the comfort and freedom they deserve. With my help your child will learn to:
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE CRYING?!
You are not alone. Crying is hands down the number 1 concern from every parent that I speak to.
Will your child cry while learning how to sleep independently?
In short, yes. There will be some crying.
When we change the game on our babes, they feel confused, and with confusion comes tears.
I mean, up until now your child has been sleeping one way his or her entire life, and now all of a sudden we are changing everything?! I mean, what gives right?!
I will teach you several different approaches in my program, in varying levels of parent present support. If I have learned anything from working with over 500 families, is that every family is very unique. What works for one family, is simply out of the question for the next.
We can start off with full support while our babes are learning the brand new territory and then we work to slowly remove our support over a matter of several days. You can be there every step of the way if you want to be.
As our babies establish their independent sleep habits and feel confident in their new routine, the crying quickly diminishes. They start to feel confident in their ability and secure in your approach, which in turn allows our children to learn to love sleep.
Teaching your child to sleep may result in some protest on your child’s part. I do everything to minimize crying and to set your child up for success. Know that crying is your child’s way of protesting change. Crying is often how our babies and young children communicate. We need to be responsive in a way that helps facilitate their learning towards healthy sleep habits.
My clients are ALWAYS astounded by the transformation they witness within their child during the sleep shaping process. They are pleasantly surprised how easily my plan was to implement and how quickly results are seen.
And, rest assured that 98% of my clients come back to report that night 1 went much better than what they anticipated.
You would never take your child out of his car seat while he was screaming on the highway and let him sit on your lap instead.
The car seat is not optional, and neither is sleep.
