Replay of one of our  most listened episodes: We so often talk about the infant stage, the newborn stage - there is a lot going on in those developmental stages. But today we are going to focus on toddlers. At The Happy Sleep Company we work with kids all the way up to age 6 — where it can get tricky at the older ages *Insert the toddler sleep regression*

What is this you ask? If you are not there yet, this could help you prepare. Or if you are there, listen in for some tips on how to manage the Toddler Sleep Regression. For example if maybe you had a perfect sleeper who now all of a sudden starts battling bed time or Your child had sleep challenges and now they are two and it is worst than ever before. These are some of the things we see when your child is hitting that Toddler Sleep Regression.

Today we are talking about toddlers - specifically toddler aggression, and even more specific to toddler hitting. We work with many families with toddlers and pre-schoolers to manage sleep challenges at those ages. Which also means we are dealing with families who are in the thick of toddler sleep regressions and behaviors that are new to both the child and parents - and hitting is often at the center of this.

We heard Dr. Cara Goodwin on an episode of The Mom Room podcast with host Renee Reina - which brought up so many additional questions about toddler behaviour regressions and hitting, as so many of my clients are managing these difficult situations. So I am beyond thrilled to have Dr. Cara Goodwin, on today's episode - she is a mother of 3, licensed child psychologist, PhD and author - listen in to hear her expert opinion on this topic!
