Join us as we interview Mell from the Strong Family Co all about their 7 Elements of the Strong Family Path. We zone into a couple of the 7 elements with Mell and can't wait for you to listen and hear all about them!

Joe & Mell have been married for 16 years and are raising 3 boys, ages 5, 11 and 13. Joe was a teacher turned entrepreneur who realized he was spending more time on his work than on his family life. Mell was a social worker turned stay at home mom. In 2020, they decided to move 2000 miles from home to a place better aligned with their family values in order to refocus on the most important organization in their lives: family!

It was an inspiring conversation and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

One of the biggest questions that we get when it comes to the transition into childcare is...Do I have to Sleep Coach before my baby begins? 

This can cause a lot of extra stress and anxiety for parents if they do not want to do this. Having an open discussion with your childcare provider is the first step to find out what they suggest and what they will be doing in care to teach independent sleep. (Which methods they will use.) You can then decide if you would like to help your child learn this skill beforehand. In this podcast, we chat about your options and some of our experiences in the childcare field. 

If you are ready for sleep coaching and don't want to tackle it on your own, we are here! We have a few different programs to help you teach this skill with confidence and consistency. You need to find a method that you are most comfortable and that is exactly what we help with!

We would love to wave a magic wand and prevent each and every baby or child from getting sick at any point but especially after you have worked so hard on sleep coaching! Pam and Elisa have many powers but unfortunately, that is not one of them. It is inevitable that your child will get sick at some point and it can be so overwhelming and disheartening to have worked so hard on sleep and then have to take steps back when illness strikes. We want to make sure that you know how to keep things on track as much as possible and or get things back on track if you had to do more to help your little one fall asleep when they were sick.  

In this podcast episode, we talk all about: 

When to keep things on track What to do with their sleep schedule when they get sick as well as  How to get things back to independent sleep territory when the illness is over!  

Have a listen, you will not want to miss this one.  

If you would like to teach your baby or child how to fall asleep independently and just don't know where to start...Or maybe they were falling asleep on their own and got sick and now you feel stuck, we are here to help! Reach out to us at info@restfulparenting.com and we can book a FREE 15 minute call with you.
