Say it, Then do it
A Small Practice with Lifelong Impact
Every time you’re about to move your child’s body, say what you are doing before you do it. This simple habit builds trust, body awareness, and a sense of respect from the very beginning of life. It models the kind of communication we want children.
Supporting Healthy Sleep for Young Children
Sleep is a skill that needs to be learned, just as are eating and toileting. A child needs an adult to establish a good sleep routine for a child to understand and learn from. Create an environment and an expectation for your child to sleep and be consistent with your methods. When your child is crying let them know that you are near, but that it is time to sleep and gently put them back in bed. Consistently putting your child to bed and helping them learn to self-soothe will create healthy sleep habits to last a lifetime.
Steps to Weaning and Eating
Eating is so much more than taking in nourishment—it’s a sensory experience, a social ritual, and an important step toward independence. This resource offers a respectful, child-led approach to weaning that supports your little one’s growing capabilities and curiosity. You’ll find clear steps and gentle guidance to help create meaningful mealtime routines, foster healthy eating habits, and build confidence at the table.
