FAQS
Isn’t Sleep Developmental? Why Would I Need Support?
Yes, sleep is developmental, but your child’s sleep patterns often mirror the overall dynamics of your household, including stress, routines, and emotional connection. This support is about helping you navigate sleepless nights with clarity and calm. By understanding your own responses and implementing sustainable practices, you can create an environment where sleep improves naturally—for the whole family.
What's the Focus Parent Coaching?
Parent coaching isn’t about prescribing rigid routines or quick fixes for your child. It’s about helping you thrive, even during challenging moments like night wakes or tantrums. We focus on strategies for emotional regulation, co-regulation with your child, and sustainable daily habits that empower you to respond with confidence.
Why Focus on the Parent Instead of the Child?
Parents set the tone for the household. When you’re emotionally regulated and equipped with effective strategies, it creates a ripple effect. This isn’t about “fixing” your child’s sleep; it’s about giving you the tools to handle sleepless nights and challenging moments with calm and connection, which naturally supports better outcomes for the whole family.
Is This Sleep Training?
No, this isn’t sleep training. This approach recognizes that sleep training focuses on modifying a child’s behaviors, whereas we start with you—the parent. Together, we address the root causes of exhaustion and work to implement strategies that align with your family’s values and needs, creating a foundation for long-term wellbeing.
