This week we bring you a long awaited interview with our Gentle Sleep Coach colleague Macall Gordon.  Macall specializes in working with "live wires:" Children with very alert temperaments.  She shares with us her immense knowledge gained from working with these children as well as research insights.  Macall has a master’s degree in Applied Psychology from Antioch University, Seattle with a research-based specialization in infant mental health, the development of emotional regulation, and parenting psychology. She also has a B.S. in Human Biology from Stanford University. She is currently a Senior Lecturer in the graduate Counseling Psychology program at Antioch University in Seattle.

She has conducted and presented research on temperament, sleep, and parenting advice at infant and child development conferences around the world including the World Association for Infant Mental Health, the International Society for Infant Studies, the Society for Research in Child Development, and the American Psychological Association. She has been a featured speaker at international sleep conferences and has led webinar-based advanced training for sleep coaches, mental health providers, and others. Macall has just finished the manuscript for a book on sleep techniques for livewires. She lives outside of Seattle with her livewire husband and two very dramatic dogs.
