Toddlers

Let me help you correct the balance of power and make bedtime the best time of the day, for everyone!!

Welcome to the next development stage in parenting! It’s when the most perfect sleeper can start mucking around at bedtime and then start waking numerous times at night. It’s also a time for testing the waters or pushing boundaries.

If your child has never slept through the night and you’re ready for this to change, book a call with me to discuss a personalised sleep plan for your family. 

If things used to be going well but now sleep has fallen apart, or if you’re at the stage of expecting another baby and you need better sleep, don’t despair! We can get you on track with sleep while keeping the following things about toddlers in mind.

 

Let me help you correct the balance of power and make bedtime the best time of the day, for everyone!

During the toddler stage of development, there is so much growth and change.

A major task for a toddler is independence – learning how to be independent and in fact, needing to be independent.

One of the most important things for parents of toddlers to do is support a toddler’s need for independence while ensuring that their need for structure and routine is being met.

Consistency is crucial for toddlers. Parents need to keep responding consistently and keep the expectations, routine and structure consistent as well.

They have a short attention span, and they are very active and have a high need for physical movement.

They have a low frustration point (low tolerance).

They have rapid mood shifts and their emotions are very intense (but usually very short lived!).

Living with a toddler and being a toddler is very, very difficult if the toddler isn’t well rested.

No more bedtime battles, a child that happily falls asleep and sleeps through, waking refreshed and ready to start a new day. Yes please! You will really notice the difference, and yes it is possible! And, it is often easier than you think (even if you think you’ve tried EVERYTHING).

What my clients are saying about me.

I contacted Kim in desperation with a nearly 3 year old who had literally never slept through the night. Kim was recommended to me because of her success with toddlers using a gentle sleep training method.

As a single, full-time working mum I’d reached the point where I just couldn’t go on without more sleep. My daughter was taking 1 – 2 hours to put down at night and I had to lie with her till she went to sleep (usually around 9pm), we were co-sleeping and she was waking a couple of times a night and then up for the day at 5am. After about 3 weeks of Kim’s programme I’m pleased to say she’s now happily putting herself to sleep after a short bedtime routine around 7pm and sleeping through to 6.30am.

Kim really took the time to understand us and our individual situation and her guidance and support through the tougher nights was invaluable. Amara and I are both getting more sleep and are happier for it – thanks so much Kim

Kim, I can’t thank you enough for what you have done for us. Your kindness, patience and support has been absolutely remarkable and has exceeded anything we could have possibly expected. I am so inspired by your passion for what you do, your attention to the smallest details, and your cute personal touches. Thank you for helping us to banish the “Bumps in the Night”, and to make sleep deprivation a thing of the past. I couldn’t recommend you more highly. If your child isn’t sleeping well, Kim will help you to get back on track and help your family get the rest they deserve. Trust me, you won’t regret it!

We have been having drama with Rosie’s sleeping since our son was born. I put it down to the fact that we transitioned her to a bed too early. I thought we would be able to handle the problem or that she would eventually just grow out of it. But after almost a year of her refusing to go to bed at night without her mum, and ending up in our bed each night, the situation began to take its toll.

“When we discovered Kim from Cherished Sleep, things began to change for our family almost immediately. Within a week of starting our sleep plan, Rosie was settling herself to sleep almost every night. After two weeks, Rose was going to sleep completely unassisted and sleeping the entire night in her own bed.

By the time we had completed the 3 week sleep plan we knew things had changed for good! Rose was sleeping so well. We even noticed improvements in her behaviour during the day! My wife and I now have our evenings back and are finally able to get a full nights sleep ourselves.”

Thank you Kim, you have made such a difference to Rosie’s sleeping, and in turn, ours.

We had tried everything we could think of to get my son to sleep through the night, so much so I wondered what Kim could possible offer that we hadn’t tried already. You can imagine our shock and delight after following her plan by the 3rd night he had slept through!  Kim has such a gentle, supportive and extremely knowledgeable approach I only wish I had found her earlier.

“I didn’t think we needed the help as we’d read the books, but we obviously weren’t reading the right ones. After a few years I’d just had enough and it seemed to be getting worse not better! I finally reached out to Kim for help. After around 3 weeks we now have a little miss who loves to sleep all night! Kim focused on the positives and set up a routine that stopped the bedtime dramas. We were astounded by how simple it was (although it was not always easy). We’ll be recommending you to our friends with bad sleepers from now on and you’ll be the first person I call for help when our second child is born (later this year). We should have done this ages ago!
