The Modern Mommy Doc Podcast

Real Talk About Kids' Sleep (and Why One-Size-Fits All Sleep Advice Doesn't Work)


Listen Later

In this eye-opening episode of the Modern Mommy Doc podcast, Dr. Whitney sits down with child sleep experts Dr. Andrea Roth and Dr. Allison Shale—two clinical psychologists and co-authors of The Essential Guide to Children’s Sleep: A Tired Caregiver’s Workbook for Every Age and Stage. Together, they break down the myths, shame, and unrealistic expectations that surround sleep training and offer compassionate, evidence-based advice that actually meets parents where they are.

This episode is your permission slip to stop blaming yourself, throw out the cookie-cutter advice, and start working with your child’s unique temperament, challenges, and developmental stage—whether that means defiant toddlers, anxious middle-schoolers, or non-sleeping newborns.
