I leave families feeling happier and calmer by supporting them with sleep, behaviour, eating , toileting and starting school. I have been a NNEB qualified nursery nurse for 36 years and an Iaim massage instructor since 2015.I worked for the NHS for 14 years providing one to one & group support for parents of children aged between newborn and 8 years, and supported

schools with health promotion. My aim is to support ,advise and empower parents to understand their unique child and improve toileting, sleep and behaviour challenges. Featured online at John Lewis Edit magazine. https://www.johnlewis.com/content/baby-children/when-to-potty-train
I provide online videos courses, zoom workshops and customized 1-2-1 consultations. https://www.littlelifesteps.com/
I look forward to providing the tools to help you in your parenting role. I love to chat so pop me a message if there is anything you would like help with and is keeping you awake at night.

That one question most of us ask ?
It might actually be making toileting harder.

There's something I call the Safe to Release Theory,
Children won't let go (literally) until they feel emotionally safe.

When they sense pressure or anxiety from us, their body responds by holding on tighter.

It's not stubbornness.
It's not them being difficult.
It's their nervous system doing exactly what it's designed to do.

So "do you need a wee?" repeated on a loop?

To a child that feels like surveillance.

And a watched child holds it in.

The shift is small but it changes everything

"The toilet is ready whenever you are"

Save and share this with friends.
And if this resonated, drop a 🚽 below ,
I really want to know I'm not shouting into the void on social media.
It feels like it some days.

You're not a bad mum.
So many of my calls , mums say I'm not enjoying parenting right now.

I often say you're just missing the bit nobody told you that your toddler has their own way of doing things, and once you get it, everything gets easier.

The broken sleep.
The food refusal.
The meltdowns out of nowhere.
It's exhausting especially when you've tried everything and nothing sticks.

But what if the reason nothing sticks is because it wasn't designed for your child?

Inside my Digital Parenting Solutions Hub,

I help you step into your toddler's shoes. Understand what's driving their behaviour, work with their strengths and interests, and bring connection and play into the everyday hard stuff sleep, eating, toileting, all of it.

Because when your child feels understood, everything shifts.

Come and have a look , comment HUB for the link.

Something that comes up a lot in my 1-2-1 sessions is this.

A child who's been doing brilliantly with dry nights suddenly starts wetting the bed again when they're ill. Cue the panic.
Cue the "have we gone backwards?" spiral.

You haven't. And they haven't.

When children are unwell,
the hormone that tells their kidneys to slow down at night gets disrupted.
Sleep is more restless.
They're drinking more fluids.
Their body is in recovery mode, not regression mode.

I've added a brand new PDF to my bedwetting course "Weeing more at night when unwell."
explaining exactly why this happens and what to do about it, because this question comes up so often I figured it needed to be added.

It's inside the course now.

Drop me a DM or the words WET BED below and I will share the link.

Review time
"We were recommended to Sue by a friend…
We were recommended to Sue by a friend of ours when experiencing a sudden onset of sleep issues with our eldest (age 4).
He went from visiting our room numerous times each night to not visiting at all within 1 week of implementing the tips Sue gave us.
If he now regresses on occasion, we’re able to deal with it quickly using Sue’s tools, so everyone gets better sleep.
We won’t hesitate to speak to Sue again if any other sleep or behavioural issues come up with any of our children. "

Drop me a DM if you want to discuss how I can support your families sleep.
