Feel empowered rather than exhausted!
It’s about building confidence
I believe that children have an innate ability to sleep but that it is our job as parents to empower them to discover and develop these skills!
By helping our children to develop the abilities to self-regulate and self-soothe, we equip them with skills they can use for the rest of their lives. And we gain the confidence in an approach that strengthens independent sleep – in other words, rather than neglecting our child, we are making them stronger and more competent.
Strategies that align with your parenting instincts
Sleep is critical for growth and development so that your child can thrive and reach her full potential.
We need to be nurturing growth by finding the balance between knowing when to step back and watch our children learn and develop new skills - and when to intervene to help.
About Kate Johnson Ph.D.
I discovered the fascinating world of sleep by accident when I was an undergraduate at university. From the first time I watched the brain electrical activity of someone asleep – I was hooked (I recognise that sounds much stranger when I say it out loud!!).
I have had the amazing experiences of being able to study sleep in some of the leading universities. First at the Stanford Research Institute in California USA and then in the Division of Sleep Medicine at the Harvard Medical School. You can read more about my academic background here.
I created Babysomnia to build a community of parents who talk, think, and feel about sleep in a more positive way and understand that sleep is an evolving process that needs adaptable strategies.
I want to make it easier for you to be more confident and more knowledgeable about your child’s sleep, so that it’s easier for you to stay on top of things, feel less stressed and enjoy life more!
