Parenting can be tough. But sleep doesn’t need to be. We will teach your child, within a week how to go to sleep – and stay asleep. We will teach them how to rest and play quietly in their bed, and develop the skills needed to be comfortable being alone. When bedtimes are easy, evenings become yours again. You’ll have more time to read, have a glass of wine, get to bed earlier, sleep in on weekends and have more time and energy to enjoying the parenting journey.
Sleep is the most vulnerable time for a child. When children do not feel safe, they will not sleep. Without the faculty yet for reasoning or logic, a child builds an understanding between what is “known and safe”, or what is “unknown and therefore potentially unsafe”. For example, when mom rocks them, or when dad sleeps in the same bed as them, they know from past experience that in this situation they were safe. Once these understandings of what “safe” looks like become entrenched, it becomes very difficult to remove these actions without making a child feel their protection or safety is also being removed. This can result in unsustainable habits and patterns that keep parents tied to the room, needing to wake up multiple times at night and struggling to put their children to bed.
