Sleep and Your Child's Temperament.

Remember we are working on independent sleep, meaning we want your baby to fall asleep on his own at bedtime and subsequently during the night.

• Regulate your own emotions:“Our ability to self-regulate might have the biggest impact on who our child turns out to be compared to anything else we do”


• Connect with your kids


• Coach instead of punishing

When your baby wakes, it is very important to give her enough time to figure out how to fall asleep without your help.

She sometimes waited five or ten minutes before picking them up. She wanted to see whether they needed to fall back to sleep between sleep cycles or whether something else was bothering them: hunger, a dirty diaper, or just anxiety.
