Every child is born with their own unique temperament and understanding yours can be an absolute game changer for sleep, behaviour and your relationship with them.

The Sensitive Soul
Feels everything deeply. Gets overwhelmed easily. Needs lots of reassurance and connection before they can fully relax into sleep. Bedtime struggles are usually rooted in anxiety, not behaviour.

The High Energy Child
Can’t just switch off. Bedtime resistance is real. Their nervous system needs active help to wind down — stories alone won’t cut it.

The Velcro Baby
Needs your presence to feel safe. Independent sleep can feel impossible because for them, closeness isn’t a want — it’s a need.

The Easy-going Child
Adapts well, settles more easily, happy to go to others. Often the baby that sleep training “works” for — and that’s not luck, that’s temperament.

No type is wrong. No type needs fixing. They just need to be understood.

Temperament is one of the most overlooked yet most important pieces of the sleep puzzle.

It shapes how your child falls asleep, how they respond when they wake in the night, and how they behave throughout the day.

And here’s the thing, we are all born with our own unique temperament.

Some of us are naturally sensitive, some outgoing, some shy, some need lots of connection, some are perfectly happy in their own company.

You cannot change your child’s temperament, and you wouldn’t want to, but you absolutely can work with it.

Temperament is one of The Gentle Approach frameworks that I work with, either my lovely clients 🤍

Temperament and Regulation work closely together, I have a free video for you to watch or listen to when you are in the go, in the car, doing lunch or laundry.

If your child is bouncing off the walls at bedtime you need to listen….

No amount of stories and shouting are going to relax them to be able to go asleep.

There nervous system is wired…

They need to regulate and relax the nervous system so the body can prepare itself for rest and sleep.

I explain in my free video how to do this, with a simple checklist in simple easy steps to follow.

Regulating your child’s nervous system doesn’t have to be complicated. These three simple shifts - morning, afternoon and evening, can make a real difference to how your child feels by bedtime.

No perfect routine required. Just small intentional moments throughout the day

This is part of The Gentle Approach Framework - week 2 is all about regulation and there is so much more inside this week’s newsletter and my free video and checklist.

Confident Parents. Calm Kids

Did you know low iron could be the reason your child can’t settle at night?

If your child takes forever to fall asleep, thrashes around, kicks their legs, or wakes up sweaty and restless, this is worth knowing about.

It’s called restless leg syndrome. And in children, one of the most common causes is low ferritin — the protein in the blood that stores iron.

When ferritin levels are low, the nervous system can become overactive at night. The body simply cannot switch off. And what looks like a child who “just won’t sleep” or “has too much energy at bedtime” could actually be a child whose body is uncomfortable and trying to tell us something.

The good news? It’s a simple blood test. And it’s absolutely worth mentioning to your GP especially if your child also complains of uncomfortable legs or growing pains at night.

I’m not a medical professional and this isn’t medical advice. But as a sleep coach, this is one of the first things I look into when a child is very restless at night. Because there is always a reason for bad sleep.

Save this if it sounds like your child — and share it with a parent who needs to see it. 🤍
