It’s not a magical quick fix, but here is one way to teach your child to stay in their bed (or at least their room) and fall asleep independently, with less stress and conflict than some other methods.

Traveling with babies and toddlers can be hard – really hard. More stuff to pack, bags to carry, and emotions to manage! But this doesn’t mean we should stay home for the first 10 years until the kids are able to carry their own luggage through the airport.

A strong connection between parents and children sets the foundation for a healthy and happy family. Incorporating activities like the ones listed here into your regular routine will help you both feel secure when you set boundaries with your kids.

There are so many books available these days that all claim to have the secrets to fixing your child’s sleep! I’ve read them all… and only a few actually have the answers. Check out this list and save yourself the trouble of reading everything the library has to offer.
