Thursdays Tip on a Tuesday! #Video Take pictures and videos of your children to help them to get to sleep faster! I love encouraging parents to do this but it can be nerve wracking. PAM! ARE YOU CRAZY? What if I wake them up? My reply: I know. I was once there too. It took me months to trust my son. I walked around on egg shells for months still worried that he would start waking up again all night long. You have given them the ability to sleep! IF you do wake them up, they now how to GO to sleep so therefore they can go BACK to sleep all on their own. When we got started a few weeks ago, sweet miss Sarah was taking about an hour to fall asleep. The other night, I asked Mom to encourage her to get to sleep so that she could take a video. Sarah loves her Moms iphone and makes her own videos. You can find one on my page of her sharing her excitement with her Grandmother. It took Sarah about 20 minutes to fall asleep the other night and Mom snuck back in to take this video. When she showed it to her daughter the next day, she LOVED it and watched it about 50 times (I am not embellishing!) This is going to make her even more motivated in the coming nights. Oh, how I LOVE LOVE LOVE making Sleep FUN for children and their parents. It is so counter intuitive but helps create heathly sleep habits for hopefully a lifetime!
