I'm so delighted to be starting this second sleep series, in tandem with editing my book, Sound Sleep and Secure Attachment with Aware Parenting, as well as offering a live round of the course of the same name, and my first Aware Parenting children's book, on rambunctious play before bed. This episode is an introduction to what me and my guests will be talking about in this series. I include: The innate release and relaxation response all babies and children have. Differentiating cultural beliefs about sleep from innate biological wisdom. How sleep challenges are a reflection of needs and feelings. The three things babies, children and teens need to sleep peacefully. Why they're not fighting sleep but we're often fighting their release and relaxation response. How the relaxation response is the same as the intrinsic ability to heal from daily stresses and larger traumas. How we can have sound sleep and secure attachment with Aware Parenting.
