20.01.2022 How freaking true is this one Poor nutrition and I'm grumpy, lazy and so moody. Poor sleep and I can't cope with life I feel like everything is crumbling around me and think everything is just so hard... Anyone else get like this?

19.01.2022 4 wordsSMALL STEPS EVERY DAY I go at the pace that you feel most comfortable with I let my families decide and tell me what they need and want... We can tackle the day naps first or we can tackle the overnight awakenings first You tell me what you want to achieve and I advise on the best and most achievable option! We have 2 weeks to tackle everything together Want to know more about how I create your sleep plans or what the process is, book in for a free consult

18.01.2022 Did you know that babies are not afraid of the dark? Babies, toddlers and adults sleep better in the dark as darkness promotes sleep! Same goes for when we wake up during the night or the early hours of the morning. Sleeping in the darkness helps us to get back to sleep easier & faster! But Mary, the room is dark and my child still has trouble going back to sleep. ... Well, what do you do when you go into your child? Are you talking to them? Are you offering a drink of water? Are you bringing them into your bed? I know if somebody came into me during the night chatting and offering me a cuppa, it would wake me up and I would find it so hard to re-settle! Anyway, that's another topic!!! Normally after the age of 2, a night light doesn't serve much of a purpose and it can disrupt sleep! Children develop imagination skills from about 2 years of age onwards, sometimes earlier and sometimes later. I get a lot of clients asking me: "when can I introduce a night light"? I recommend delaying this for as long as possible as sometimes shadows makes their imagination run wild & it can validate their fears and then the 'monster' talk begins. Of course we need to acknowledge their fears and discuss this appropriately with them. If they become more and more fearful of the dark, then you can start talking about getting a night light. If you have to use one, I recommend a really low dim red or yellow night light! Are you going through this at the moment with your little one?

18.01.2022 Have you got a strong willed and vocal toddler Do they show signs of being overstimulated after dinner and before bedtime Do you feel like you're a broken record:... "DON'T do it, STOP that, NO you can't have it, FORGET it and STOP bugging" For toddlers, discipline worded negatively is much harder to understand It's a bit like reverse psychology. Kids want directions, explanations and to be challenged and they also love to challenge adults or their peers! For example: Brody doesn't feel like eating or he doesn't want to eat dinner at the table with the rest of the family but that's the rule and expectations. Choose your battle. Instead of demanding what you expect of Brody, try this approach: "Hey Brody, I know you don't feel like eating dinner, you don't have too if you don't want too but you do need to come and sit at the table. He's getting a choice. He feels like he has some bit of power and control of his choices. Set a sand timer of 15/20 minutes. Give him as much praise as possible for coming to the table and CHANGE THE TOPIC! Once he is engaged in an interesting topic, his mood will lift and he may start picking at his food! Again, praise for eating his food! Have you tried evaluating your approach

17.01.2022 This is why I became a Sleep Consultant There is no better feeling than helping and supporting families and receiving positive feedback

16.01.2022 After our free consult, I will send a preliminary questionnaire which will help me to understand the problems you are facing and where we should focus. I will then construct a sleep assessment plan based on your answers. I will then send the sleep plan prior to our 60 minute consult which gives you time to review it. We discuss the plan in detail over the 60 minute phone consult and work through any questions and concerns. Following this, there is 2 weeks of follow up suppor...t to monitor the plan and make adjustments as required! The BEST bit, I share a live document with you so that you can log all sleeps, meals and activities throughout the day and I can update it too on my end and highlight things that I think should be changed and what is good practice We all know consistency is HARD, and this is why I offer 2 weeks of support to be there at the other end of a phone call or text to get you back on track or to just have a rant

15.01.2022 My goals are to teach you what you require to know so you no longer need me I want you to be in a position where you don't always need someone sitting next to you and making sure that you're doing it right

12.01.2022 DAYCARE Q&A happening tonight Friday 29th @6pm(AWST). Go onto my Insta stories and send your questions throughout the day Remember, there is no such thing as a silly question

09.01.2022 Couldn't help myself Daycare part 2 coming soon

08.01.2022 Ratios, Communication and Honesty: Let's start with honestyThis plays a big part from the parents and educators. Nobody is going to judge your parenting skills For example, if your child is co-sleeping/bed sharing, let your carers know this info because they can't sit next to your child's cot/bed for the duration of their nap at daycare, there just isn't enough staff. Ratios are: Babies (0-2 yrs) have a staff ratio of 1:4, Toddlers (2-3 yrs) is 1:5 and Kindy (3-5 yrs) is ...1:10. I'll be honest too. Daycare is a busy environment and sometimes a little bit stressful BUT super fun. Most are open from 06:30-18:00 and staff are coming and going. When you drop your child off to one educator, you are more than likely to see a different educator when you pick your child up(they will be permanent familiar staff). Most centres do early, middle and late staff rosters. COMMUNICATION is key here and all the rooms communicate amongst each other and pass on messages! Got any questions or want to add some useful info for parents, comment below

01.01.2022 Sleep training is NOT crying it out It's providing parents with education and guidance to support you with getting your little one onto a routine for better sleep Sleep training is the process of putting a baby/child into their cot/bed and having the capability to put themselves to sleep without any parental assistance.... When a parent asks me if sleep training is just about letting their child to cry it out, my answer is a simple NO! If that was the case, nobody would have any issues with their little one going to sleep and it would be as simple as that We have to look at the bigger picture: Some of the things I have to take into account are: Assessing sleep environments Wind down rituals Child's temperament Consistent techniques Nutrition Feeding Medical issues and many more So sleep training is not just about putting your baby down to sleep, walking and away and letting them cry for hours Crying it out is not the only way to teach self-settling either When you hear the words SLEEP TRAINING, what are your thoughts? Would love to know EVERY CHILD IS CAPABLE
