Parents often worry that if they try to improve the quality of their baby or toddler’s sleep, that they’ll somehow harm the relationship they have with their child. Here’s what you need to know:
❤️ The best, science-backed approaches to sleep and settling require you to be consistent, present, and responsive – and these 3 qualities are essential for protecting secure attachment.
❤️ Poor sleep quality reduces capacity for emotional regulation, which is important for forming meaningful relationships. When we sleep better, we are better able to connect meaningfully with others and it’s the same for babies and children too.
🙅🏽♂️ You don’t need to use harsh or punitive approaches to improve sleep. Having firm and consistent boundaries around what does and does not happen at bedtime is ok, but punishment and fear are never ok.
