Your Toddler's Sleep Fell Apart. You're Exhausted. And Nothing You've Tried Is Working.
Bedtime takes over an hour. Your toddler wakes up multiple times every night. You've tried earlier bedtimes, later bedtimes, cutting naps, keeping naps, more stories, fewer stories, staying in the room, leaving the room—and you're still Googling "toddler sleep" at 3 AM.
You're stuck in patterns that aren't working:
- Rocking them to sleep for 45 minutes, only to have them wake up screaming two hours later
- Lying next to them until they fall asleep, then tiptoeing out like a hostage negotiator
- Bringing them into your bed just to get any sleep, even though you said you'd never do that
- Hearing "one more story, one more song, one more glass of water" until you want to scream
And the worst part? You don't know if this is normal toddler behavior or if you've created a problem you can't fix.
This workshop gives you the answers—and the tools to actually change what's happening.
Who This Workshop Is For
This workshop is designed for parents of toddlers (ages 1-4) who are:
- Drowning in bedtime battles that stretch past 9 PM while your toddler masters the art of stalling
- Waking multiple times per night to rock, nurse, hold hands, or lie down with your child—again and again
- Confused about what's normal and what's a problem you've accidentally created
- Tried everything without understanding why nothing is working
- Desperate for evidence-based answers—not another blog post telling you to "just be consistent"
Whether your toddler never learned to sleep independently, or sleep suddenly fell apart after months of success, this workshop helps you understand what's happening and what to do about it.
