Bedtime Battles
Is bedtime taking over your evenings?
Whether your toddler refuses to go to bed, needs you to stay with them or bedtime has become a nightly struggle, I'll help you understand what's driving the behaviour and create a calmer, more positive bedtime routine
Bedtime Battles
When bedtime becomes the hardest part of your day
You used to look forward to the evenings. Now, as bedtime approaches, you find yourself wondering how long it’s going to take tonight. Perhaps your toddler refuses to go to bed, asks for “just one more” story, needs you to stay until they fall asleep or repeatedly gets out of bed after you’ve said goodnight.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Bedtime battles are one of the most common reasons families ask for support. While it can feel like your child is simply refusing to sleep, bedtime struggles often have an underlying cause. It may be that their sleep needs have changed. Their bedtime no longer matches their natural sleep pressure. They may be seeking connection after a busy day, or they may be learning to navigate their growing independence. Every child is different, which is why there isn’t one perfect bedtime routine that works for every family.
My approach is to understand what’s driving your child’s bedtime battles before suggesting any changes. Together, we’ll look at your child’s sleep needs, temperament, development, routine and your parenting style to create a personalised plan that feels realistic and achievable.

✓ Understand what’s driving the bedtime battles
✓ Create a bedtime routine that suits your child

✓ Reduce stress and make bedtime feel calmer
✓ Give you the confidence to respond consistently

Night Wakings
If your toddler is waking several times a night and everyone is exhausted, we’ll explore what’s causing the wakings and create a personalised plan to help your child sleep more settled through the night.
Night Wakings
When everyone is exhausted from broken nights. Broken sleep affects the whole family. If your toddler is waking several times a night, it’s easy to wonder if you’ve missed something or whether they’ll ever sleep through. The truth is that night wakings can happen for lots of different reasons. Your child’s sleep needs may have changed, their routine may no longer suit them, or there may be developmental factors influencing their sleep. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, I’ll help you understand why your child is waking. Together, we’ll look at your child’s daily routine, sleep pressure, development and individual sleep needs before creating a plan tailored specifically to your family.
How I can help
Together we’ll:
✓ Understand why your toddler is waking overnight
✓ Identify anything contributing to broken sleep
✓ Create an age-appropriate sleep plan
✓ Support your child in a way that feels right for your family
✓ Help everyone enjoy more settled nights
Early Rising
If your toddler is waking before 5 or 6am, we’ll work together to understand why it’s happening and create a plan that supports more manageable mornings.
Early Rising
Tired of starting your day before sunrise?
Early mornings can be one of the most exhausting sleep challenges because they affect the whole day.
You’ve probably been told to try an earlier bedtime, a later bedtime or even to drop naps altogether.
The reality is that early rising is rarely that simple.
Your child’s sleep pressure, bedtime timing, nap schedule, environment and individual sleep needs can all play a role.
Rather than relying on guesswork, we’ll explore what’s happening beneath the surface and build a plan tailored to your child.
How I can help
Together we’ll:
✓ Understand what’s causing the early mornings
✓ Review your child’s sleep schedule
✓ Make evidence-informed adjustments
✓ Work towards a later, more manageable wake-up time
