Bedtime resistance is incredibly common. When we understand the developmental & emotional factors behind it, it becomes easier to respond in ways that support both connection AND sleep 🤍

Lots of people have lots to say around sleep. Advice based on their own experience as parents, or advice other people have given them.

I’m here with advice based on 6 years of studying clinical psychology, & 18 years of working with children as a registered psychologist. Sleep has always been a focus of my practice, & advice has always been based on what every family needs. Individualised & different every time.

One of the great things about sleep is that it can be improved quickly, and good sleep has a HUGE impact on how we feel.

A key to making changes is a consistent approach. I don’t mean absolutely every time, 100% of the time, but definitely aim for MOST of the time.

Start with a consistent morning wake up time, and if your child is napping, some consistency around nap times.

After waking in the morning go into a bright room or go outside. Natural light is the best way to regulate our body clock.

Creating a calming and predictable bedtime routine is another key. Maybe 2 or 3 steps with enjoyable but calming activities that help prepare the brain and body for sleep.

And finally, cultivate your own calm as a parent so you can share that with your child. Emotions are contagious so dial into your own zen as much as possible!!

If this all sounds tricky or a long way from your current situation, reach out. We’d love to help. We have a FREE SLEEP GUIDE we’d love to share with you too. Link in bio! 🤍

Parenting is hard. Trying to work out what is behind your child’s behaviour can be so tricky.

As a psychologist I see lots of the same challenges & a common cause.

Sleep is such a fundamental part of wellbeing, & if sleep is poor children struggle in lots of different ways.

Bedtime can be a really tricky time for families.

We don’t regulate so well when we’re tired, there are less distractions, & bedtime is often when parents ‘separate’ from their children, saying ‘goodnight!’ & ‘see you in the morning!’. This can be tough.
