S2E6 The Truth Behind “Gentle” Sleep Training
Season 2 · Episode 6
jeudi 17 octobre 2024 • Duration 35:18
In this episode, we’re unpacking the term "gentle" sleep training and why it may not be as nurturing as it seems. You’ve probably heard these methods described as kinder, with less crying and more parental involvement. But here’s the truth—many of these approaches still operate under the idea that independent sleep skill are necessary for a good night's rest.
We’ll dive into how misattunement happens when caregivers unintentionally misread or inconsistently respond to their baby’s needs, and why focusing on sleep goals over emotional connection can lead to anxiety for both parent and child.
Tune in to hear why being attuned to your child's sleep needs & emotional needs—not sleep training with a softer label—is the key to fostering secure, healthy sleep habits.
