Sleeping through the night yet???

Are you desperate for a good night's sleep? Do you have a toddler or preschooler who needs your help to fall asleep at night, or who has never slept through the night? What about your primary school-aged child?

Babies often learn to resettle themselves in the first 6 months of life, either on their own or through the use of consistent sleep settling techniques. But for some children, this skill does not develop smoothly — they may be anxious at bedtime or habits may become hard to break. Some parents find that helping their child to sleep feels like an important way to connect emotionally. Even so, toddlers and preschoolers need a good night's sleep. Bedtime dependence and nighttime waking are known to affect cognitive, emotional and behavioural functioning the next day. Teaching your young child to self-settle and stay asleep until morning — while giving them all the emotional support they need during waking hours — is a developmentally important goal that makes bedtime easier and gives the whole family the rest they need.

Amongst primary school-aged children (5 to 12 years), up to 45% experience difficulties with sleep. Some children who previously slept well regress due to anxiety, illness, a house move, or changes in routine. Re-establishing independent sleep can feel challenging — there's always a reason to put it off until later. But adequate rest is essential for the growing mind, and the ability to fall and stay asleep independently supports confidence, mood, behaviour, and academic success.

Whether you're looking for general tips or a personalised sleep training program, tailored to your family's needs, a straightforward Cognitive Behavioural Program can help you reclaim sleep in your home. It may sound daunting, but it is easier than you think — just 2 to 3 sessions is all it takes.
