In this episode Dr. Angelique Millette breaks down her top three takeaways from the coaching hundreds of parents through the most difficult of time over the last year. Here they are:
1. Excessive screen time creates significant behavioral issues (if there was any doubt) and there is a way for parents to shift their families screen culture!
2. You need not worry about your children they are crazy resilient!
3. It's of great benefit for parents to be with their kids through their emotional cycles (rather than outsourcing it to other professionals like teachers).
She offers some valuable specifics on all of the above that will be of great support to all of you moving forward.
Here's a little background on Angelique:
Dr. Angelique Millette is a parent coach, pediatric sleep consultant, family sleep researcher with offices in Austin, TX and San Francisco, CA. Twenty years of working with families, Dr. Millette has developed The
Millette Method™ a multi-disciplinary approach to family sleep and child behavior. The Millette Method™ does not follow one specific sleep or behavioral method, but rather uses a “tool-box” of different methods and approaches and takes into account family schedule, child development, challenging behavior, temperament, and parenting philosophy, all while keeping an eye on parental overwhelm, and emotional health. Dr. Millette’s research addresses the relationship between infant sleep locations, maternal mood disorders, and attachment.
