Sleep deprivation can have many detrimental effects on your child, including

• behavioural issues from being constantly tired

• preventing concentration and learning, low attention span.

• affecting social skills through tiredness and irritability,

• they may be hyperactive, have mood swings, aggression

• weight gain, failure to thrive

• misdiagnosis of behavioural issues -ADHD

What I offer:

• I believe in taking a holistic approach, considering your child’s developmental stage and age, emotional and dietary needs, as well as any medical conditions. I think this helps to identify issues that may have been missed or that brings everything together like pieces of a jigsaw.

• I will discuss sleep physiology, healthy sleep associations, your child’s bedtime routine and environment.

• I will design a sleep plan that reflects your parenting style and family dynamics., setting realistic strategies.

• I am compassionate and empathetic to your situation and offer clear and concise information to support and encourage you. It’s also about helping you as parents going through these situations which may be testing you all now.

• It is important to manage expectations and what is possible for the age and developmental stages of your baby/child. Then a great amount of patience, consistency and commitment is needed from you and all those who help support you and your baby/child.
