Sonny is really testing us when it comes to sleep. He is delaying bedtime and waking up way too early. We needed major help! Timmy and I had a Zoom call with our sleep expert, Alanna McGinn, for some advice and tools. Yes, having a Sleep Expert may sound nuts, but you guys, sleep is EVERYTHING! If we utilize experts for our mental and physical, why shouldn’t we for something we do for half of our lives?? That is a rhetorical question.  Alanna is the Founder and Sleep Consultant of Good Night Sleep Site, Parent Prep Educator, Stress Management Coach, Director for the International Association of Child Sleep Consultants (IACSC), and serves on the faculty of the Family Sleep Institute. She has helped us sleep train Sonny since he was born and is a true savior. Everything she tells us to do works. We stick to her rules and Sonny adjusts so naturally. It’s actually really crazy. I hope all you parents find this conversation helpful!!

This episode tackles something many of us would like to have in more abundance: sleep. Most of us know we're likely not getting enough, and we may feel guilty when our kids' sleep falls short of the recommended amount, too. But it can be challenging to squeeze all of life into more reasonable hours, especially when we're juggling commutes home from work, pick-ups, extra-curriculars and homework. My guest, Alanna McGinn, is a respected sleep consultant and founder of Good Night Sleep Site. She and her team have helped countless parents overcome the sleep challenges they're having with their kids. Alanna has also recently launched a great new podcast called This Girl Loves Sleep, where she's dropping all kinds of sleep-related truth bombs to help kids of all ages and their parents to get better sleep. We talk about the factors in modern family life that encroach on our sleep and how to take concrete steps to bring back bedtime. Notes Love our work? Please check out our Patreon Campaign!

This conversation landed close to my heart...  While my kids are now sleeping in their OWN beds, in their OWN rooms, ALL NIGHT LONG, that was not always the case. And while my nighttime parenting choices weren't always the same as everyone else, they didn't follow the mainstream advice,  I did the best I could for my babies...  The thing I really love about Alanna and her approach to supporting parents with sleep, is her willingness to meet parents where they're at.  She really believes in the idea that there is a right approach for each family, and that it is going to be related to what works in each family... As any parent knows, there is no one size fits all here...  AND it is possible to help your child, and yourself, get better sleep.
