I am hesitating even sending out this blog because of all the hurting going on in our nation. I am outraged. I am heartbroken.
Did you know there are 12 million infants and toddlers in the United States?
Did you know the state where they are born and live during their first three years makes a big difference in their chance for a strong start in life?
Did you know that more than half (51%) of America’s babies are children of color?
The cutest and most innocent among us face big challenges. We must embrace the changing portrait of our nation’s babies and commit to end the racism that infects not only them, but us all. We can’t afford to squander the potential of a single child.
In that light, I am seeking out and listening very intently and carefully to voices of People of Color because the reality is we need to listen. After all, People of Color have been leading the fight for liberation for centuries. We need to follow their leadership and hear their voices to take the right next steps.
We all need restorative sleep to stay healthy and grounded. We need sleep so we can be patient and kind to one another during this incredibly emotional and challenging time in our nation. Because getting good sleep helps everyone sink into a more open and compassionate heart, I don't want to stop efforts to help tired parents.
Many parents are emailing me and are relying on the below information to help them solve their sleep struggles and they need the help RIGHT NOW.
So with deep compassion, I am following up on my promise to provide reliable information
In my Facebook Live from 5/28 I stayed for 1.5 hrs to answer every last question from all the exhausted parents that needed the right next steps to get some quality sleep. I have always promised to post the video so you can go back and listen and earn.
I will always send out the recording of the Facebook LIVE so here is the recording from 5/28/20. Some of the important topics I covered were.
How to handle regressions.
When do I know if I need to sleep train my child.
How can I help my child sleep later in the morning.
