Hand in Hand Parenting: The Podcast
Society & Culture
Sleep. It's up there with eating and tantrums as a stress-causing subject for parents. And isn't there just so many ideas, action plans and tools for change online or offered by well-meaning grandparents, caregivers, friends? We bet you could even ask your pizza delivery guy and he'd even share his opinion about how parents should go about getting their kids to sleep.
Wow! That's a lot of pressure to Get. Things. Right. And a lot of room to feel like you've gotten everything wrong. To really feel like a failure.
And if there's one thing we do know it's that pressure and fear of failure does not make for peaceful parenting or a happy bedtime.
And you shouldn't have to feel like that anyways.
