Description: Send us a textSleepless nights and distressed babies are a common theme in the parenting journey. But what if we told you, it's possible to teach your child to sleep independently without causing them distress? Welcome to an insightful episode of Leadership Parenting where we share our wisdom on tackling sleep training in an empathetic, effective way. I'll be sharing my personal insights on managing the emotional rollercoaster of transitioning your child to independent sleep. We'll be addressing the crying and protesting that inevitably accompanies sleep training - but we'll also talk about how resilience can empower you to face these challenges with confidence and even joy. The issue of sleep training isn't just about sleep - it's also about maintaining that special attachment with your child. Sleep training methods are myriad and varied, and it's important to choose one that fits your child's developmental stage and your family's unique circumstances. We'll discuss the popular check and console method, which is all about setting loving boundaries while simultaneously providing comfort. Join us on this journey as we learn to navigate the tricky terrain of sleep training with compassion, understanding, and a healthy dose of leadership.If you'd like to get the show notes for this episode, head to: https://leighgermann.com
