76. "Big Kid Bed" Sleep Struggles with Jessica Berk
Failing Motherhood
Everyone talks about how you'll never sleep when you have a baby. But no one was talking about the sleep struggles that happened when the kids get bigger...
...enter Jessica Berk, certified child sleep consultant for kids out of a crib!
After Jessica's daughter moved up to a "big kid bed" she felt like she had a newborn all over again! She knew she couldn't survive, so she decided to get certified as a child sleep coach through the Family Sleep Institute and spent the last 7 years perfecting a foolproof framework, the REST method, to turn toddlers into awesome little independent sleepers. She's successfully helped thousands of parents with even the most strong-willed kids get them to bed happily before 8pm and sleeping soundly for 10 to 12 hours through the night with no wakeups, in their own beds.
In this episode, I asked Jessica all the questions that come up for my clients. Why are they getting out of bed so often? What does sleep begets sleep even mean? How do you recommend paying off sleep debt when they're overtired?
We covered...
- the critical key to good sleep
- debunking common myths + misconceptions around sleep
- why toddlers get out of bed after bedtime
- the 4 steps of her REST Method
- how to get sleep back on track after the summer slide
