In today’s episode of the Gentle Parenting Podcast, Kim West sits down with a longtime friend and certified Gentle Sleep Coach, Macall Gordon. This is Macall’s second time on the podcast, to listen to her first episode all about sleep training research, head HERE. Kim and Macall sat down to discuss sleep training based on a child’s temperament. They speak specifically about the alert, high-wired and high-energy children, and how common sleep training advice can be adapted based on this type of child. They discuss:
What Does Temperament Mean? Sleep Training Based on Temperament Characteristics of Hard Sleepers Connection Between and Parents and Baby’s Temperament The Good Side of Your Child’s Temperament Research on Sleep Training and Temperament
Our favorite quotes from the episode are “to really self soothe requires motor skills, attention skills, and your child has to divert their attention, and all those things take time. When the things that are bothering your child take more attention, they need more help to settle down.” and “Pick your battles, but fight the ones you pick.”
