The Sleep Consultant Sleep Philosophy

My Sleep Philosophy

 by Karla Jassoy

I have been working with children and families for over 15 years. Different lifestyles, parenting methods, routines etc, but one thing was always true: they wanted the best for their children.
When I work with a family, I make it my goal to guide them and support them while respecting their own philosophies because there is NO right or wrong, because there are no magical recipes to make a baby sleep through the night or take good naps but because a family needs help and because I genuinely care.
Every child is perfect and unique, and each child AND family deserves good sleep; my sleep philosophy listens to my heart as a mother and as a consultant, but most of all, it listens to you.

My approach to helping you teach your little one the necessary skills to improve their sleep starts with a one-on-one consultation. During this consultation, which lasts between one and one and a half hour, I will get to know you and your family. This will include getting a sense of who you are, your child’s personality, and your family’s sleep goals. This will help me identify what is working and what is not so that I can provide the best advice for you and your family.

When it comes to helping your child get a good night’s sleep, I understand that every child is different and that you know your child best. That’s why I’m here to provide you with a step-by-step plan that allows you to make choices that are right for your child. This plan is easy to follow and will help you customize your child’s sleep plan to meet their individual needs. With this plan, you can ensure your child gets the sleep they need for restful nights and happier days.

Measuring success with sleep training involves setting expectations. Although it has happened, I don’t expect your child to sleep 12 uninterrupted hours on the first night! Instead, we will measure success by the gradual progress your child makes in learning how to fall asleep and stay asleep independently. Achieving small goals such as staying in bed for a certain amount of time (when they haven’t done it ever before), falling asleep without your help, and sleeping through the night are all signs of progress. It is important to celebrate these accomplishments and each milestone as your child moves closer to successful sleep training.

What about the tears?

I’m so glad that you’re here asking about crying it out! It’s an important topic to address, and I’m glad to have the opportunity to explain my program. I always make sure to let parents know that some protest from their child is expected when changing their sleep habits. But don’t worry – I will never ask you to leave your child to cry alone or to ignore their cries (see cry-it-out methods). Based on what you know about your child, I will develop a sleep plan that you feel comfortable with.
