Blissful Baby Sleep Coaching: Featured on "Letting Go With Aloha"
I have some thrilling news to share with all of you! I recently had the incredible opportunity to be featured on the "Letting Go With Aloha," platforms hosted by the amazing Karen Gibson. It was such an honor to discuss one of the most challenging aspects of parenting: getting our kids to sleep.
You can watch the discussion here on Instagram and here on Facebook.
In our interview, Karen and I dive deep into the mysteries surrounding children's sleep. We explore why sleep can be such a perplexing and elusive part of parenting and how crucial it is to a child's learning and development.
Sleep Challenges: Do These Sound Familiar?
Does your child need a ton of parental support to go to sleep?
Is bedtime taking WAY too long and WAY too too many steps?
Does your child wake up in the middle of the night and need that same level of support?
Is your child waking up with the birds before 6am?
Is your child cranky all day long?
Is your child skipping or fighting naps?
One child not sleeping well affects the entire family system on the daily. The good news? All sleep challenges are solvable.
As a certified Gentle Sleep Coach, I've dedicated my career to helping families navigate these often turbulent waters. Sleep is not just about rest; it's the cornerstone of healthy development and emotional well-being for our little ones. During our chat, I shared insights into the science of sleep, common pitfalls parents face, and practical tips to create a peaceful bedtime routine.
Key Points from Our Discussion:
Understanding Sleep Challenges: We talked about what qualifies as a sleep challenge and how to identify them in your child.
Joanna’s Story: I shared why I do what I do and my journey into the world of sleep coaching.
Conquering Fear in Kids: We discussed how to handle those "ninjas" that appear in parents' beds at night.
