Let's normalize apologizing to our kids, shall we?

Let's normalize apologizing to our kids, shall we?⁠
⁠
Just because we became parents, does not mean we magically become perfect people overnight. We're still human, and we still make mistakes.⁠
⁠
When you make a mistake with your child, it is always a good idea to directly and genuinely apologize to them. Even if they don't understand your words yet!⁠
⁠
Apologizing to your kiddo right from the start not only gets you in the habit, it helps set your mindset that your child is an individual deserving of your respect.⁠
⁠
Growing up in an environment where their feelings, autonomy and self are valued and respected will help your child's sense of self flourish.⁠
⁠
How you treat your kids is the roadmap they will use to compare every future relationship to. So make sure that roadmap looks like apologizing when its warranted and treating them with the respect that they deserve.⁠
⁠
The cherry on top is that your little will also mimic your behavior. Seeing the adults in their life apologize when they are wrong or make a mistake, will help your child learn how to take responsibility and show empathy and remorse when they make mistakes in the future.

Psst...⁠ ⁠ In case no one has told you yet...

Psst...⁠
⁠
In case no one has told you yet... you get to decide what successful sleep looks like for your family!⁠
⁠
It could be nursing to sleep.⁠
⁠
I could be singing to sleep.⁠
⁠
It could be room sharing.⁠
⁠
It could be bed sharing.⁠
⁠
It could be baby in their own room.⁠
⁠
Successful sleep can be anything under the sun that works for your family.⁠
⁠
With that said, not all "sleep consultants" will tell you that. They may tell you the *only* way to get your baby sleeping is by moving to the nursery, when you know room sharing is still a priority for your family.⁠
⁠
Be wary of sleep programs that have a rigid or strict set of rules and "best practice" you need to follow in order to see success. Each baby is different and has different needs. Each family is different and has different goals.⁠
⁠
Sleep programs should work with a family's unique set of circumstances and priorities, not force the family to turn themselves upside down and sacrifice their values to get some sleep.

With launch week coming to a close for my very fir

With launch week coming to a close for my very first digital course and coaching program, I just wanted to take a minute and say thank you!⁠
⁠
Thank you for liking and sharing my posts.⁠
⁠
Thank you for watching my stories.⁠
⁠
Thank you for reaching out to work with me.⁠
⁠
I am so grateful for every single one of you. I know not all my followers are at the stage where sleep training would be of interest, but your support and excitement for this new venture has still meant the world to me!⁠
⁠
If you are interested in sleep training, but have been on the fence about reaching out, today is your last chance to get a bonus additional month of 1:1 coaching when you enroll!⁠ DM me SLEEP to get started.⁠
⁠
I have limited spots available, and you will only qualify for the 3 months of coaching (I usually offer 2) if you schedule your consultation call with me by 🌟11:59pm tonight🌟⁠
⁠
There is absolutely no obligation to enroll in my program if you schedule a call. It's just a casual chat where I can answer you questions and figure out if we'll be a good fit to work together🤗⁠
⁠
Again thank you so much for your excitement and support this week! You're the best!

As we head into the weekend, I wanted to give a qu

As we head into the weekend, I wanted to give a quick reminder that enrollment for Gentle Sleep for Littles in only open until Sunday at 11:59pm!⁠
⁠
This will be your last chance to sign up and get the benefits of my first group of students!⁠
⁠
🌟 I will never be this hands on with my students again⁠
🌟 I will never offer my program for this price again⁠
🌟 I will never include an extra month of coaching again⁠
⁠
I also have no idea when I will open up my course for enrollment again, since I want all of my focus and attention to be on getting my students success.⁠
⁠
So if you've been struggling with getting your little one to sleep and you're on the fence about enrolling, go ahead and schedule a free consultation call with me. I will go any and all questions you have, and we'll see if my program is a good fit for you.

A theme I frequently see in the gentle and attachm

A theme I frequently see in the gentle and attachment parenting world is parents sacrificing their mental health in the name of meeting their child's needs.⁠
⁠
And while every parents out there would obviously bend over backwards a million times over for their child's happiness, we cannot pour from an empty cup.⁠
⁠
👉🏼It is not in our child's best interest to run ourselves into the ground.⁠
⁠
I've shared my sleep story on here several times, and what I most vividly remember from that time of sleep deprivation was how much it affected my ability to function and parent.⁠
⁠
I was so tired all the time. I was so scared of sleep training because I felt that I would somehow be letting my daughter down. But the longer I put off finding a solution, the worse things got.⁠
⁠
🚫I didn't have the energy to engage with her as much during the day.⁠
⁠
🚫I was loosing my patience more because I was just exhausted.⁠
⁠
🚫I didn't have the brainpower to plan or prepare healthy meals and snacks.⁠
⁠
Basically every area of our life was suffering.⁠
⁠
So was my daughter really benefiting from me refusing to sleep train🤔⁠
⁠
Once I had this realization, I decided to just *look into* sleep training. I was still very skeptical, as there is a lot of false assumptions floating out there, especially in the gentle parenting community.⁠
⁠
After I did my research, I put together my gentle sleep training plan, and the rest is history!⁠
⁠
🌟But the point of this post is that if you're a mom suffering from sleep deprivation, but feeling too guilty to look into sleep training, I see you. And I want you to know your mental health matters too. Not only do you deserve sleep and sanity, your little deserves that from you too.⁠
⁠
I would love to chat and answer any lingering questions you may have about gentle sleep training. Send me a DM or schedule a free consultation call with me through the link in my bio!

First, I wanted to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your excitement these last couple of days for the launch of my course Gentle Sleep for Littles!⁠
⁠
I developed it with helping mama likes you in mind, so it makes me so happy that so many of you are interested in learning how to gently sleep train your littles.⁠
⁠
I also wanted to take today to answer a few questions I've seen pop up a few times, in case you've been wondering them as well.⁠
⁠
🌟I'm busy! Will I be able to work this program as a busy parent?⁠
⁠
Yes! My program is 100% self paced, so you can fit it into your life wherever you have time. I will also be releasing 1 module each week for my first round of students. This will give you plenty of time to work on each module before moving into the next.⁠
⁠
🌟Does my baby have to be a certain age?⁠
⁠
Gentle Sleep for Littles is suited for littles between 5-18 months old. This is to ensure that your baby is old enough that they are developmentally capable of independent sleep.⁠
⁠
🌟Do you offer support with your program?⁠
⁠
Yes! In addition to the self paced digital course, I provide 1:1 Zoom coaching calls as your develop your sleep plan so you can ask me questions as they pop up.⁠
You will also gain access to an an exclusive student Facebook group of other parents also working through my program.⁠
