Sleep consultations are helpful for parents struggling with their baby's or child's sleep patterns.
A sleep consultation consists of:
1. Initial Consultation and Intake
We will go over:
-
your child's current sleep schedule
-
the sleep schedule of the parent(s) or primary caregiver
-
any behaviours indicative of anxiety in your child
-
the emotions attached to your child's sleep (i.e. the difficulty in letting your child 'cry it out')
-
what you have tried already, what has worked and what hasn't
2. Personalized Report
The report will consist of:
-
my recommended sleep schedule for parent and child
-
coping strategies for the parent(s) to manage the stress of their child's sleep patterns
-
strategies to help your child fall asleep and stay asleep
-
strategies to reduce anxiety in your child attached to sleeping and separation
3. Follow-Up Sessions (optional)
Follow-up sessions can be used to:
-
discuss which tools have worked and which haven't
-
learn more about sleep and its effect on child development
-
talk more about the parent's anxiety about their child's sleep
