Dr Golly’s preschool sleep program has been a fantastic tool in our household. We’ve always struggled with our toddler’s sleep. Usually fighting bedtime - taking hours sometimes, waking throughout the night and ending up in our bed. We’d gotten to the point of just accepting this as our norm. When I was given the opportunity to explore Dr Golly’s preschool sleep program I took my time to really read and understand the relevant sections to my toddler’s sleep needs. I love that Dr Golly offered a choice of sleep settling ideas so that I could choose what I felt comfortable with. The program covers a range of things we may be faced with our preschool aged child. Including sleep, nutrition, dropping naps and development. Having received the program two weeks ago, my husband and I have so far implemented three strategies from Dr Golly’s advice. The first, being a bedtime routine chart. I made a visual chart with my son’s favourite character, of the steps he needs to take before bed. Each step is displayed with one word and matching image. Once complete, my son gets to ‘close’ the door to step using velcro dots. Since implementing this, my son is so eager for his bedtime routine to begin. He knows what he needs to do and will remind us too. The second, the ‘room retreat’ strategy. My son used to need someone to cuddle him to sleep. Since implementing the room retreat strategy my husband is now at the stage of sitting near the door whilst my son falls asleep. We are so surprised and happy at how well this settling strategy has worked. The third, just recently, from reading the advice, we have purchased a sleep trainer clock to indicate to my son when he can ‘get up’ for the day. We are hoping this prevents middle of the night visits. So far 3/4 nights have been successful and he is SO proud of his clock. He shows everyone and explains to everyone what its does. We are so happy to have accessed Dr Golly’s Preschool sleep program and will continue unpacking more sections as we ‘reach’ them with our son. If you are a parent who is feeling ‘stuck’ I highly recommend check out Dr Golly’s programs.
