Stop viewing your child's bedtime shenanigans as s

Stop viewing your child's bedtime shenanigans as silliness, defiance, or misbehaviour!
Admittedly, this is not easy...
Bedtime can be really triggering. Especially when nothing you are doing and trying is working to get your child settled to sleep!!
But when you ditch the belief that your child is intentionally refusing sleep, and instead remember that they are likely doing the best that the can....
You can start getting really curious and creative in finding new ways to meet them where they are at, that ALSO help to solve the bedtime drama.
Their behaviour is a form of communication that is telling you something.
Save this post as a reminder!

Do you have a sleep rebelling toddler or preschool

Do you have a sleep rebelling toddler or preschooler?
This might be why....
1) Bedtime is too early (for them, or the situation)
As your child gets older, they will sloooooowly start to need less sleep. So it is possible that they need a bit more awake time to build up some additional sleep pressure before feeling tired enough to fall into sleep - especially if they are napping!
2) Their nap!
Naps that run too late, or too long can cut into the sleep pressure needed to fall asleep at bedtime. This isn't a bad thing persay, but it may mean your child isn't ready for sleep when you might want them to be. Experiment and see what works best!
3) Need for connection
The demands of everyday life can sometimes make it hard for littles to get their love cup filled. The naturally slowed pace of bedtime makes it easy for your child to reconnect with you after a busy day. It's no wonder they don't want that precious time to end!
4) Stress or Dysregulation
We all encounter little stressors that add up during the day that can put us in a dysregulated state. Some littles are more sensitive to this than others. Your child might need a little extra help to ground themselves or wind down before being expected to fall asleep.
5) Anticipatory Worry
Do you ever dread bedtime? It's entirely possible that your child feels the same way! Especially if bedtime has been a stressful time lately. This could be because you've been making changes, or simply because they don't wish to separate from you.
If you are encountering any (or all!) of these, you can relax in knowing that this is all really normal. It's just a tricky age sleep wise!
But if you scroll back on my feed a bit, you'll see a couple videos that might help, including one on naps, and another couple on independent sleep.
Happy Sleeping!

🚨 Doors Close May 18 🚨 Since I usually get a slew of messages from people upset that they've missed out...
I am sending another quick reminder that tomorrow (May 18) is the last day to sign up for Hello Bedtime!!
What is Hello Bedtime?
It's the first and only comprehensive program for Toddlers, Preschoolers, and Kids that’s designed specifically for Parents who value gentle, attachment focused parenting.
I want to take you from feeling frustrated, exhausted, and quietly doubting yourself to having more freedom in your evenings so that you can reconnect with your partner, and have some well deserved ‘me time'...
I will be helping you to get a better night's sleep too!! Because, let's face it, bedtime is only part of the equation and this gentle parenting thing is hard enough without being sleep deprived.
It's NOT just a course, and not a workshop either.
This program gives you the ongoing support, troubleshooting and hand holding you need - without the expense that 1:1 support brings
Is the Program for you?
On the fence? Wishful and wondering, but unsure?
Then get your right fit call booked today! (or tomorrow) before it is too late.
You should also know that, since it's my first time running this, I am offering a REALLY awesome introductory rate for this round.
I won't be offering the program again until September at the earliest...
And one more thing...
I only have 3 spots left!!
Comment below and let me know what goals you'd love to reach!
Or better yet, DM me, and we can chat allll about how I can actually help you reach those goals!
Talk soon!

Pretty awesome hey!? Wanna know what is even more amazing...
Cassandra wrote this Google review (which I had to crop by the way as it was too long to fit!) after our first chat!
I gave her a few quick tips of advice for in exchange for allowing me to interview her.
I picked her brain about all the struggles she has faced with sleep as a gentle parent (and doesn't wish to sleep train)
I used her interview, along with 40+ others to help shape my newest support option, Hello Bedtime!
Want to go from feeling frustrated, exhausted, and quietly doubting yourself to having more freedom!?
Emotional freedom of knowing you are doing right by your child (while meeting your own needs!), and...
The freedom of having some kid-free time in your evenings?
Wouldn't it be nice to have more time to reconnect with your partner, have some well deserved ‘me time’?
You can be a gentle parent AND support your child to sleep more independently.
Only 3 spots left
Doors close May 18
We start May 31st
I've opened up my calendar for the next couple days. Don't hesitate to book a quick call to see if the program is right for you!
DM me for info 🙂

I'm so humbled that there are 1000 of you here, reading, liking, sharing and connecting with me! Thank you SO much for being here!⁠

I am here for honest, straightforward content allll about the challenges that gentle and responsive parents face when supporting a toddler, preschooler or young child to sleep… along with heartfelt tips, tricks and a little sarcastic flair!
A lot has changed since I first started this page. I have transitioned from helping anyone with sleep (even adults), to focusing JUST on the early years. And, more recently have brought in that parenting to sleep lens since becoming a certified Peaceful Parenting Educator.
In the coming weeks and months I hope to focus more on educational how-to videos, more collaborations and lives with some of my favorite early childhood and parenting professionals, and yes more Q&A’s too.
⁠
I’d love to know…What topics or ideas would you like to see here in this space? ⁠Is there anyone you would like me to invite for a joint-live discussion?
⁠
💬 Comment and let me know!
Again, thank you SO much for being here.
*⁠Don’t forget to tag your friends so that I can continue to help more people get more sleep - in a heartfelt and holistic way 😉
Much love and thanks
Maisie Xx

🖤 READ CAPTION 🖤 Yesterday I was chatting w

🖤 READ CAPTION 🖤 Yesterday I was chatting with a really lovely Mom. She was sharing some of the struggles she’s had with trying to get her little one off to sleep.
Her story felt familiar… so very familiar. I hear similar versions all the time!
See, unlike the typical bedtime battle, there was no yelling, screaming, threats, or bribes.
I mean sure, this mama loses her patience sometimes! We all do. But mostly her struggle is in finding that balance between her daughter’s needs, and her own.
THIS, I find, is the biggest struggle that gentle parents face… feeling torn and conflicted..
On the one hand, she is happy to support her daughter to sleep. I mean who doesn’t enjoy those cute cuddles and slobbery kisses!
But, lately, bedtime has been taking hours! Like 2 if she is lucky…
On a good night, she manages to stay awake and then sneaks out of the room to enjoy a few minutes of peace before going to bed. But mostly she ends up falling asleep, crammed up in her daughter’s toddler bed.
She leaves the bedroom feeling so tired and groggy that she ends up mindlessly scrolling rather than spend those precious kid-free hours more productively - like by reconnecting with her partner!!
So I asked her this….
If you continue doing the same things, what do you think you’d be missing out on in your life in the next year.
She laughed. Then went on to share about how much her mental health has tanked. She’s less patient, increasingly irritable and her relationship is suffering. She feels like she has been in survival mode for 2 years, and doesn’t even know where to start to change things.
She reached out to me because deep down, she knows this isn’t sustainable. She knows she needs to make a change, but feels stuck. She feels guilty, like it isn’t fair to her daughter.
Plus, she doesn’t know how to make this work. She doesn’t have the confidence, the support, and the tools to make it work.
She’s tried! Many times. But her toddler is…well, a toddler (persistent, stubborn and FULL of emotion!)
Today that all changed. Because today, she joined Hello Bedtime!!
There's only 6 spots left!
