You probably have heard the term "nap transition" many times. And it's a term that most parents dread because it means their little one is going to be dropping a nap.

, ... There are so many new skills and so much fun to be had, but there are also A LOT of changes! Getting new teeth, regressions, possibly new siblings, fears, imagination, separation anxiety, testing boundaries, big emotions and only a few words to express them, going from 2 to 1 nap or possibly dropping naps all together... I could go on!... ' . The two biggest issues I see with toddlers are and Toddlers need to have boundaries. They need to know what they can do and what isn't ok. Toddlers thrive on routine and knowing what is coming next, what's expected of them and what happens if they make a choice is key. Along with that is consistency. Most toddlers will negotiate and try to change the outcome especially if it means staying up longer. But with consistency, we are teaching our littles cause and effect, but we HAVE to be consistent. Do you have a toddle that is a lot of fun, but requires a lot of patience? Enjoy this time! Just try to be consistent and have clear expectations. What is the biggest hurdle you face with your toddler? Let me know! See more

We have another Serene Sleep Graduate! Not only did this little one learn to fall asleep unassisted, sleep through the night and not end up in mom and dad's bed, he did it all just a few weeks after welcoming a little sibling! That's a lot for a 22 month old! We started with a super gentle method and boy did that backfire- we were a little worried after night one, BUT... Mom and Dad were awesome, followed the sleep plan and put 100% into getting their little one sleeping. Onc...e we found the method that worked best, we were on our way!! I am so proud of this little ROCKSTAR! And even more more proud of mom @aanndreaaaaaa and dad for being so focused with a newborn. If you could fix one thing in your little one's sleep, what would it be? What would make the start of a new week just a little bit easier? Drop me a line and let me know!
