“We are Taking Cara Babies alum - we had the best experience with the baby sleep class. So, when our toddler started fighting sleep and having inconsistent nights we knew we needed to go back to Cara. We found the toddler class to be super relatable and within five seconds of the second segment I was saying "yes that's us!" out loud.
We felt like we were chatting and listening to a friend because everything Cara said in the video segments was spot on - we also found ourselves laughing throughout the video because we could picture our 2.5 in every example Cara gave.
Making sure we fill our toddler's Control Tank before bedtime was a brilliant idea we hadn't considered; when we heard that we immediately thought that thay would work for our 2.5 year old. And after only a couple days of implementing it we have already seen a difference in our daughter's sleep!
A few other parts of the class we really enjoyed were the SAD acronym, the afraid of the dark tips + the interactive bedtime checklist.
Cara's toddler class really added on to the information and tips from infant sleep class. The information was so valuable and we will continue to add these tips to keep our girls good little sleepers. We are truly grateful for Cara and view her as our friend who gives the best ever sleep advice!”
“This course is incredible! It has so many tips and tricks to get your toddlers sleep on track. The course includes easy to follow videos that guide you through each step. I think my favorite part is that Cara doesn’t only talk about bedtime, but also discusses behavior and how to really meet your child where they are in their development which all ties into their sleep. I also love that so many different life transitions and challenges are discussed in the course as well! We are expecting another baby in just over five weeks and I know those tips will be so useful! Cara is so comforting and makes you feel confident in your abilities as a parent, which is so helpful when you may feel incredibly stressed out and defeated because of your toddlers sleep troubles. I highly recommend this course and am so happy I have this tool to help my husband and I conquer our toddlers sleep troubles.”
“The toddler years are a new challenge for us! While we had been successful with TCB's courses in the past and have an awesome sleeper now, we've had a hard time with our now 3 year old's newfound desire for independence and preschool in the mix. To top it off, we also welcomed twins just a little over a month ago! The videos, tips, and suggestions for extra considerations were especially helpful in our case. The other videos and sleep training strategies were not as necessary for us since we had already been successfully using the ideas from the 3-4 months and 5-24 months courses. If you haven't taken those courses and are just now diving into sleep training with your child, these dive deep into navigating sleep at the toddler stage. However, even if this is your first class with TCB or you're a TCB alum like we are, the short video clips and supplemental downloadable worksheets are easily digestible and can be listened to on the go (as I needed to do so) which is immensely helpful when you've already got your hands full. No doubt this course will lead to success in the toddler years and beyond!”
“In short - amazing. I took the TakingCaraBabies newborn and 3-4 month sleep classes and became a true believer. This toddler class is no different - science based, from the heart of a mom; what more could you ask for?
I think one of the things I liked and appreciate the most about this toddler sleep training class is that it really does apply to all aspects of raising a toddler, not just sleep. How to connect with (and dare I say, enjoy?) these little people who’s brains and bodies are growing so fast is really something I’ve been struggling with. My almost 2.5 yr old daughter is VERY strong willed and nighttime in my house has become a time I dread - after dinner, we brush teeth and head upstairs for bath and bed routine. By the time we make it upstairs, there’s usually been some tantrums, meltdowns, power struggles, if not all of the above. This class has already given me some tools (and knowledge) to implement changes that will make everyone happier and more relaxed as we transition to bedtime - no screen time at least 30 mins before we go upstairs, giving her LOTS of choices (within my control) throughout the day, and really taking time to be present during our one on one time- just to name a few.
I always tell people, there a few things I’d do differently with my daughter if I had to do it over, knowing what I know now. The very first thing would be to find TakingCaraBabies early on and watch all the videos while I was still pregnant (I’ve given all my friends who have since had babies the same advice - to which they are equally as grateful for TakingCaraBabies). I didn’t learn about Cara until my daughter was 8 or 9 weeks I think and I was already knee deep in it. This toddler class is no different, and has come at the perfect time for my family. Thanks to TakingCaraBabies, we had already implemented some of the tools from the earlier classes (I.e. falling asleep independently), so this is icing on the cake and already makes me feel a little better about the years to come (not gonna lie, I still dread the teenage years). If you’re even thinking about it, please, do yourself a favor and get this class. You won’t regret it!”
“I am truly amazed!! 10 days ago, our almost 3 year old screamed/cried for 2.5hrs because she didn’t want to go to bed. We have been focusing on using your bedtime routine chart, gradually decreasing her reliance on external supports in order to go to bed (door open, lights on, back rubbed) and using her color changing clock. She is now asleep in 10-20 mins with ZERO tears and stays in her room with the door shut until 6:00am! Bedtime is enjoyable again! This class was easy to implement into our daily routine both at bedtime for our daughter and easy to watch as a busy Mama!”
“This course couldn’t have come at a better time for us! We took Caras newborn course so our daughter has been sleeping like a champ since 10 weeks old. We’ve hit the normal regressions and always went back and referenced what Cara taught us. Fast forward to 4 weeks ago. We took our almost 3 year old on a week long vacation and as hard as we tried we couldn’t keep her on her normal sleep schedule. When we got home from vacation it was like we had a completely different sleeper. She started crying every night and refused to put herself to sleep. For almost two weeks we got little to no sleep until the planets aligned and Cara came in to save the day with her toddler course! Within the first few lessons I was already feeling more confident and equipped to handle this next stage of sleep. I started implementing the SAD technique right away and noticed an immediate difference in her tantrums. I haven’t even completed the course yet and it’s already making a huge difference in our lives! I can’t thank Cara and her amazing team of experts enough!”
“We have always loved Taking Cara babies! Used her baby sleep training and guides for all 3 of our kiddos since our first was just a few months old. We now have 3 kids 3 and under and the classes she offers have been a LIFE SAVER! We seriously love all the tips and helps that she gives and I have absolutely loved the toddler course just as much (if not even more) than the baby ones! I always recommend her to new Mamas because she has been such a help to me and my whole family! We love you Cara!!!!”
“This is the second time I have used Taking Cara Babies. I should start by saying we only needed toddler sleep training because we moved across the country and had to move multiple times before our home was ready. Because of this our oldest fell in to bad sleep patterns that I couldn’t seem to break her of. Being the only parent at home 5 nights a week my youngest eventually started to fall in to the same bad patterns he was watching his sister go through. Toddler sleep training couldn’t have come at a better time! So far everything we are doing is helping break the bad patterns. It has been very easy for our two year old to adjust, but I had used the Taking Cara babies month program since he was a baby so he has had 2 years of good sleep habits. It’s taking my 4 year old a little longer, but she is more of the stubborn one so I expected it would. However everything the program teaches has been so beneficial in helping our 4 year old feel much more secure sleeping in her own room and bed. I finally feel like there is hope. I highly recommend this program!”
