This week I had a bit of an 'ah - ha' moment and honestly, it's cemented in my mind how different my approach is when it comes to supporting parents with sleep and settling.

When I chat to parents in DM's or on 15 min discovery calls, I ask them a few initial questions. Two of these questions are:What do you want? What are you missing the most in your life right now?
