Sleep Success Story: Regressions & Milestones Call for Re-nurturing and Recalibrating Foundational Skills!
Sleep Regressions can be caused by milestones, illness, travel, and big life circumstances and the depth of the regression can be compounded by your child's temperament. Some kiddos are highly empathetic and sensitive to changes and thus, parents find that prioritizing sleep during the above listed regression triggers is paramount.
This was the case for my client's, Amy and Josh, whom I met back in 2019 when their son was 2 years old. Back then Dad very slowly, very calmly, very methodically sleep coached him to sleep success. The bond they formed during this sleep coaching process was incredible for the relationship with his son.
Now, their son is 5 years old and over the past 3 years, I have worked with this family through different regressions and challenges that have come up. There's no guilt, no shame, no concern, no worry in reaching out for help to do some detective work and recalibrate those foundational sleep skills. Children will often get back on track within 3-7 days. Remember, the sleep skills are already anchored. We just need to re-establish the right circumstances and right environment and right steps to help the child "remember" their sleep skills. Just like riding a bike. Once you learn, you don't forget, you just need confidence and a good bike path.
Mom and Dad are very science-based and drawn to the Gentle Sleep Coaching process. This child really benefited from the structure and consistency of sleep coaching with dad and the value both parents have placed on sleep. Amy and Josh always make sleep a priority and then inform their community of caregivers so their son has a village of people that understand him and can provide what he needs. It makes for a more harmonious household when all parents and caregivers are on the same page. The child feels happy and secure and bonded with everyone!
I am so happy this family knows I am a reliable resource and I offer a non-judgmental space to access sleep support! Watch their story in the video below to see how working with THE RIGHT SLEEP COACH has been totally transformative for their entire family, time and time again!
