185. How To Help Your Child Sleep Without Extra Tuck-Ins

Is your child calling you back in night after night (or worse—multiple times a night) just to be re-tucked? You're not alone—and you don’t have to stay stuck on the tuck-in merry-go-round. In this episode, Allison walks you through a simple, empowering strategy to help your child learn to pull their blanket back on independently—even as young as age two.

You’ll learn:

• Why your child may have developed the habit of calling you back in at bedtime (and how it becomes part of their routine).
  
  

• The key approach to help your child learn how to pull their blanket back on themselves.
  
  

• How to use calm encouragement to help your child gain independence at bedtime, even if they resist at first.
  
  

• How Allison used this method with her own child at age 2, and how quickly it worked to stop the bedtime interruptions.
