Play holds a special power for children. This week I discuss why our children need different types of play, and why they need us to join in sometimes. Play is a way for children to process emotions, conquer fears, and learn how to be in the world.

This week we are talking co-sleeping! If you’re worried that sharing a room or bed will “mess up” your child’s sleep, this episode is for you.  I also cover what I consider the most important part of co-sleeping, which is how to safely co-sleep with your children.

This week I share how I work with children’s sleep and why I choose to work holistically. I give you some ways to begin looking at the big picture of what factors could be affecting your child’s sleep. I also talk the about expectations and realities we have around sleep.

This week's episode is all about why our children cry and what to do about it. Crying and sleep are so tied together I can't talk about one without the other! I give you some background on why crying can be controversial, along with ways to show up for your child when their emotions run high.
