Good sleep is vital for all children to reach their developmental goals. If you are tired, you cannot learn and grow.For a variety of reasons, families can find it hard to establish good sleeping routines or sometimes children can go off-track, in spite of previously having good sleeping habits. Reasons for this can be a lack of good sleeping habits from the onset, the arrival of a new sibling, major life changes such a move or divorce, or a variety of medical reasons. After an in-depth assessment, I will develop a plan that works for your family and your child and I will support you while you implement the plan.By helping your child be a better sleeper, you are helping the whole family get good sleep so you can all approach each day with renewed energy.Cost

"Bregje; Your grace and patience with us have borne great fruit, not just our daughter's life, but our family life overall. We are so thankful.""Dear Miss B. Thank you for being an important part of our son's early development. When you first started working with him, he pointed to things and vocalized a uniform "ahhh" for everything, often getting frustrated. Now he tells little stories as he plays with his Legos, and reports who got time-out that day at preschool!.""Our child's growth is a testament to your ability to create a playful, safe and language rich environment that allowed the "light bulb" of language to go off for him.""We have been so blessed to work with you through this Early Intervention program. Thanks for helping our daughter make such amazing progress while her older brothers coming and out and us trying to balance home and work life.""Miss B. Thank you for playing with me."
