Dr. Cathryn takes a deep dive into what happens when standard parenting advice doesn't seem to cut it. Despite trying expert strategies, some problems persist, and today, we're focusing on sleep issues that remain challenging despite parents' best efforts. We'll explore real-life struggles parents face when routines don't pan out as planned, and discuss tailored approaches that might work better.
In this episode:
1. The Easy-Does-It Method Fails: A parent shares the struggle of bedtime battles with their 3-year-old, from hitting to hair-pulling. Dr. Cathryn discusses the possibility of overtiredness, the importance of understanding behavior triggers, and strategies for teaching kids to express their frustrations constructively.
2. Endless Bedtime with Mia: Four-year-old Mia can't seem to settle down at bedtime, constantly asking for "one more story." We'll talk about adjusting bedtimes, acknowledging feelings while maintaining boundaries, and practical tips for helping Mia feel connected and calm at bedtime.
3. Nighttime Fears: A parent is concerned about their 3.5-year-old's recent bedtime fears. Based on effective research findings, Dr. Cathryn introduces a comforting strategy involving a stuffed animal to help the child manage fears and build empathy.
Dr. Cathryn wraps up by reminding listeners that while generic advice can be helpful, personalized adjustments are key to meeting your child's unique needs. Remember, you're the expert on your child.
Thank you for tuning in, and keep nurturing those little ones with love and understanding.
