If you’re a parent who loves breaking free from culturally conditioned beliefs, this way of understanding baby and child sleep may resonate deeply.
In Conscious Parenting, sleep is not about control — it’s about connection, safety, and emotional release.
There are two key ideas that differ from the mainstream narrative:
1️⃣ Babies and young children need closeness to fall asleep.
Feeling safe, held, and connected helps their body relax.
This aligns with what many instinctively feel — closeness invites safety, and safety invites sleep.
2️⃣ Babies and children have an innate relaxation process.
And this is where Conscious Parenting shifts the lens:
For babies, that process looks like crying in arms when all needs are met — a natural way to release stress.
For toddlers and older children, it looks like rambunctious play, laughter, crying, or raging with the loving presence of a calm adult.
This emotional expression is not misbehavior — it’s healing.
It’s the body releasing stored tension so true rest can happen.
No surprise these ideas often clash with a culture that values compliance over connection.
But if you’re ready to support a child who is both securely attached AND deeply relaxed,
who sleeps because their nervous system feels safe and understood…
