Effective Toddler Sleep Strategies: That You Probably Have Not Yet Tried

"I'm exhausted. There is too much to do and I am too tired to do what I have to do. I just want my child to go to sleep!" That was me when my young ones were young. I hear some variation of that multiple times a week from the couples I counsel.

There is no one size fits all.

It is about experimenting and trying different things and when they work, celebrate!

So, my first son did not sleep through the night for the first 3 years of his life... I read and learned so much about sleep and lived a sleep deprived life. Would not recommend that experience and my compassion grew deeper.

Please try these ideas and create your own and get support from friends and family, the doctors, teachers, child care workers- whomever offers good solutions, try them.

Sometimes the solutions that work, don't sound like they will and we are surprised.

I wish you the best on this and hope it is a short phase for you.
