Sleep Solutions for Babies and Toddlers | POF55

Nobody is good when you are operating on little sleep. Not you OR your kids! So often we get frustrated when our kids resist sleep, come out of their bed multiple times, won’t sleep unless they are with you or have frequent night waking. Our biggest mistake is the expectation that our littles can sleep like adults do. They can’t so we need to help them. My guest Lara Rabb is a sleep expert and talks about how our children have both physical and emotional needs that can wake them from a restful sleep. Physical needs like hunger, or being too hot or cold. Emotional needs like a bad dream, or fears. As adults we can meet these needs for ourselves but our little ones can’t. Lara takes a holistic approach to looking at your child’s needs and what they are getting during their awake times that might be interfering with their sleep. Listen in as she talks about what your baby and toddler are needing to help them sleep better and answers your most common sleep frustrations from frequent waking to bedtime refusal.

Parents! We CAN change the world, starting with the way we're parenting our future. Up to this point in history, children have been seen as less than and parented in a way that uses power over a child. Most of us were parented in this way but there is a shift in thinking about the way we raise our kids. Parents don’t feel good about using shame, blame, criticism, punishments, and even rewards, to get their kids to listen. Parents are wanting a different way because they know from their own childhoods this type of parenting hurts and leaves us with scars we take with us through our adulthood. Each one of my episodes is designed to help you navigate the difficult journey of parenting but in a way that is more peaceful and intentional. I’ll show you how to get your kids to listen and cooperate without yelling, punishments and rewards. I’ll show you how to understand your own feelings and those of your kids. My intention is to bring you to a place where you feel connected with your kids and yourself (we often get lost when we become parents!). Tune in weekly for all the inside tips, tools and tricks I teach my private clients to help you build the family you always wanted, and to become the parent you always envisioned you would be. I promise to provide you with fun and entertaining content that will leave you seeing your kids and your reactions in a whole new light! Please make sure to share the episodes that give you goosebumps, and leave you feeling inspired! I am always grateful for every person who subscribes, leaves a review and rates my podcast 5 stars.
