Ask just about any new parent what’s on their mind, and you’re likely to hear the same answer over and over again: Sleep.
Parents may joke about sleep deprivation being a “rite of passage,” but the fact is that many families suffer sleepless nights for months (or even years) – and the toll it takes on the child AND the parents are no laughing matter. Sleep deprived moms are more likely to suffer from post-partum depression and are three times more likely to be carrying an extra 11 pounds by baby’s first birthday, according to recently published research. Dads suffer too, as the ongoing stress leads to a disconnect between the parents, and can impact both parents’ performance at work. Plus, studies have recently linked sleep problems in children to a number of behavioral problems and ADHD. Is your child waking up several times in the middle of the night making you feel exhausted the next day? Are you having to hold, rock or feed your baby to sleep each time only to have them wake up shortly after? Are naps short and inconsistent? Tackling these problems early is the most important step in avoiding these issues. Through this seminar, you will gain tips on how to teach your child healthy sleep habits so that they can fall asleep independently and on an age appropriate schedule.
