Toddler Behavior and Baby/Toddler Sleep Help - Summer Schedule

Posted June 2, 2011

Summer price breaks on Telephone Counseling - only three slots left in June!

Wednesday June 15 is the only day left in June to book a Telephone Counseling appointment to receive Kitty's personalized baby/toddler sleep training plan. We can discuss short or non-existant naps, nights and ways you can help your baby or toddler or preschooler learn how to put themselves to sleep and get back to sleep if they have a habit of waking up during the night.  Infant sleep and feeding plans are also available, tailored for your baby.

If you wonder about your toddler's temper tantrums, refusal to listen to you and not playing by the rules, this June 15 date is available as well for Behavior Counseling on any subject you worry about: toilet training, sleep, separation anxiety, picky eating, super tasters, aggression, etc.  No need to fret over these issues this summer. 

Book now to grab this only date in June and head off into the summer feeling confident, reassured and prepared with a plan.

 

Good news! Email Counseling with Kitty is available throughout the summer, including June.  This service is designed for short questions on any infant, baby, toddler or preschool question you have regarding parenting challenges you are facing.  You may purchase a question for just $25.00 and expect a personal answer from Kitty within 2-3 days.

Ferber, Sears, Weissbluth - A Triangular Controversy on Baby, Toddler Sleep

Posted May 26, 2011

Dr William Sears advocates the family bed for babies and toddlers and endorses "night time parenting."  Mark Weissbluth advises parents of babies that allowing their child to cry is an effective baby sleep training method but to wait until 9 months or more before removing night feedings.  Richard Ferber suggests that babies will cry during sleep training but parents should enter the room to comfort the baby after 5 minutes, then 10 minutes, then 15 minutes, etc. Who is right?  Do all these methods work equally well? What does the research on children's sleep tell us?

While these men are well educated and no doubt well-intentioned, their main way of communicating advice to parents is through the books each one has written on sleep training methods for children.  Parenting books are a good vehicle to diseminate information but a parent never has a chance to ask a question.  What if I don't want a Sears - style family bed?  Will my baby have an insecure attachment as a result?  Why does Weissbluth say to wait until 9 months before I stop overnight feedings?  What is Ferber's answer if my baby doesn't stop crying after the 15 minutes and, in fact, cries harder every time I enter the room?  

Parents who are desperate for a good night's sleep for their baby or toddler and therefore for the whole family, require research-based information that is easily tailored to their children's ages and the family situation.  The best sleep training method for them should rank high for effectiveness in pediatric sleep journals, be quickly applicable and produce good results in the shortest time possible. 

Of course we are prejudiced toward the Raymond Parenting method of sleep training because it has been working well for families for 27 years.  Our method combines the very best, tried-and-true approach - tailored to your family - and is based on practices found to rank the highest for sleep training effectiveness in pediatric sleep journals.

Raymond Parenting sleep training advice for infants, toddlers and preschooleres can be obtained via a Seminar (Calgary) or through a Sleep Consultation Telephone Appointment, available internationally.

Infant Sleep from the Start (Prenatal Seminar) June 2 or August 4 ($60 per family; low income fee available)

Baby, Toddler Sleep from Now On June 14 or August 9 ($85 per family; low income fee available)

Infant, Baby, Toddler Sleep Consultations by Telephone ($150 for a 55-minute consult with one free follow-up email)

Appointments available on Mondays or Wednesdays. (Some evening appointments available.)
