You might have worked really hard to build your child’s confidence falling asleep in their cot or bed at bedtime. But what happens if you still find yourself sitting in their room near their cot or bed, until they fall asleep? Some parents don’t mind this, but others find it difficult, especially if they have other children to get to bed, and for some, their children continue to wake overnight, wondering why their parent isn’t still sitting beside their bed, and insisting that they return. Cue parental exhaustion! If you want to reduce your presence at bedtime, using gentle methods, this episode is for you.
Join Dr Fallon and Dr Laura (PhD’s & Sleep Practitioners) to learn how to gently reduce your presence at bedtime with your child.
