What others said about this webinar:
Great webinar. I'm all for creating a good sleep routine in my homebased childcare and helping children sleep through their cycles and getting to a point where they can self settle to sleep.
— ANGELA
I found it helpful and reassuring to know that it takes a child 20mins to settle to sleep. And that you can’t rush this important routine. It was also helpful to know that Sleep is not a skill you are born with but rather a skill that is learned and taught by parents.
— ANGE
I loved the close alignment to Te Whaariki eg "Let the uniqueness of the child guide our work ... " "Let the uniqueness of the child's sleep guide our work ..." - How we need to see every child as unique and think about what they and whaanau bring.
The importance of having lots of meaningful korero with whaanau and clarifying whaanau expectations.
