Sleep Is a Basic Human Need.

And, as many parents have already learned, fostering good sleep is not a simple process. There are many variables in a child's life that can either support healthy sleep or disrupt it.

The good news is that it is never too late to teach your child new sleep skills
or too early to start with your newborn.

Dawn has devoted more than twenty-five years of her life to caring for children and learning from them what they need to feel nurtured and loved. She started teaching because families and caregivers kept asking her to teach them what she does -- what the children have taught her.

Her approach to sleep is based on respecting and honoring the needs of children. Over the years, she studied the “experts,” and experienced what aspects did and did not work for children, and why.

The approach she has developed includes a slow progression of skill learning, building on successes at each step, where children never feel abandoned and are not left to cry it out. In most cases, there is not crying at all – except perhaps parental tears of joy and relief!

She has also developed a clear and easy way to teach what she has learned.  Parents and caregivers have responded positively because what she teaches makes sense, and because it works.

Developing healthy sleep habits is one of the most immediate priorities for all families – it is too important to every other aspect of our lives. Why?
