Toddler Technique Membership (suitable for 10 months & over)
This video series & community membership is for you if...
• you have a toddler who struggles to wind down in the evening. Maybe they scream and cry at bedtime or become mischievous, repeatedly running out of the bedroom. In either case, they often employ multiple delay tactics and resist every suggestion or request you make.
• your toddler wakes multiple times a night and needs repeated input from you to fall back to sleep. Perhaps you're rocking or feeding them every hour or two of every night?
• it's not just sleep. Maybe dinner times are chaotic, with food refusals and tantrums as the main course.
• you consider yourself a patient, gentle and loving parent, yet you are increasingly annoyed, anxious, resentful or stressed about evenings and overnights with your child.
• you are spending the entire evening getting them to sleep because you instinctively know that sleep training is NOT for you or your family
• you are experiencing unsettled nights, multiple night wakes or if your child is simply awake for hours in the middle of the night.
It's also for you if you are the type of parent who...
• wants to be fully available for the needs of their toddler at sleep time but would like a more joyful and loving experience. (Maybe you love co-sleeping but you don't love the way your child needs to feed, every single time they stir.)
• has a curious mind and likes to fully understand the cause of life's challenges before taking action.
• is open minded and willing to challenge the mainstream opinions and beliefs regarding what their child's sleep SHOULD look like.
• has the patience and capacity to try something new and fun.
• is not convinced they need 1:1 coaching but know that some insights and reassurance would be helpful.
