Restfully Sleep Coach - Kida

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, 25-50% of children, and 40% of adolescents, are sleep deprived.

That means that up to half of the population of children around the country aren't getting the rest they need to grow and thrive. It also means that the family unit is suffering.

Each of our clients is struggling with this very issue. Whether naps are too short or non-existent, or nighttime sleep is broken, short, or otherwise interrupted, sleep deprivation is the most common problem we see.

Being sleep-deprived is not just the way you have to live as a parent. Parenting does not have to be synonymous with exhaustion. And all babies and children who are otherwise healthy have the ability to sleep well. Anyone that tells you otherwise does not understand the science behind behavioral sleep interventions.

Evidence shows that parental mental health suffers greatly when parents are sleep deprived. Our children need well rested parents, and parents need well rested children!

You do not need to suffer from lack of sleep. We are here to help you get the rest you need, and the rest your children need. It's absolutely not selfish to prioritize the health and well being of your family – including sleep.

So many of our families are headed off for vacation and stressing about sleep!

The reality is that sleep can be tricky for babies and young toddlers when they’re out of their comfort zone of home.

With that in mind, we’ve got a few tips and some words of wisdom to share:

🏖 Try to recreate your child’s room - blackout shades, white noise, and their own room/crib is best. If you’re renting a house, look into renting a crib! Most cities and vacation towns have companies that rent out cribs for the week.

🏖 Keep your child well rested! Even if your child’s schedule may not be the exact same as at home, do your best to prioritize at least ONE nap in the crib and pay attention to wake windows to avoid the overtired state. Remember, an overtired child has a much harder time falling asleep and staying asleep.

🏖 You may need to take some temporary measures to ensure everyone get rest. This may mean a little extra comfort or even sharing a room with your little. Children can be disoriented in new environments and require some extra attention on vacation.

🏖 Remember that any changes you may make while on vacation can be adjusted back to normal once you return home.

🏖 Try to relax and avoid too much stress around sleep. Do your best and have some fun!
