Kitty’s Summer Seminars
Posted July 19, 2010

NEW… Kitty’s Sleep Programs Now On Video!
Posted June 22, 2010
I am pleased to announce that parents are now able to purchase and download a condensed version of each of my Sleep Seminars. These have been created to address some long-standing requests from out-of-towners who can't make a Calgary seminar; I think these videos will also be helpful to Calgary parents who find it difficult to attend a seminar together or on a specific date.
Sleep Research on Infants and Young Children

"The findings from the related Sleep in America poll of sleep practices of children from birth to age 10 and their caregivers clearly noted that sleep problems are highly prevalent, and that they have a negative impact on children and their families. Education is the key not only to the treatment of existing sleep disturbances, but more importantly, for the prevention of sleep problems and the development of best sleep practices. These education efforts clearly go beyond parents to our educational systems and to health-care practitioners."

CBC Ideas - The Hurried Infant
Posted April 25, 2010
I've just finished listening to Part 1 and Part 2 of The Hurried Infant. I think it's an outstanding program and I urge you to find the time to listen. Much of the philosophy behind what I've been teaching for over 25 years is based on the type of research this program tells us about. Turns out it's not just babies who are being hurried -- babies these days have very hurried parents.
