The gifts in life are many. Here are a few from me to you. xo
There are three key elements to ensure your child has the proper emotional environment for sleep. This is in addition to standard sleep help such as knowing the best schedule for your child, proper nutrition, and environment. When those needs are met and a child still isn't sleeping, there are emotional factors at play - both theirs and yours.
The three key emotional elements you can control are these:
1. Ensure your child's cup is full of love and connection. Things like phone-free connection time and full attention at bedtime help provide a feeling of safety.
2. Learn which techniques help to calm your child's nervous system prior to sleep. There are hundreds. I have a few listed. I suggest finding 2, or 3 max, and using them regularly.
3. Believe & Trust your child is capable and willing.
