Behavioural Management
I received a contact us form from Danielle who said “We live in SA on a property. 2 boys Ben - 3yrs and Josh -2yrs. Our issues are: Mealtimes, Fighting, Day Sleeps, and Destructive Behaviour.” After having a chat to Danielle on the phone and sending her our parenting e-book “When the Bough Breaks” and some information pertaining to her particular situation I received back her first email :"OMG!! Sally you are an angel! I have just succeeded in with Josh's first day sleep, on my own, in own bed, without being driven to sleep for nearly 4 weeks. It only took about 10 minutes and I am feeling relatively unscathed.
Wish we had found you months ago!"
The following day:
"Well another excellent bed time routine last night…all went a little pear shaped around 4.30am but we stuck to the plan and Josh slept till 7.30! Ben didn’t quite make it through the screaming but that was to be expected really.
So, we are all feeling very brave today and have decided its ‘DDay’ for Ben and toilet training. The jocks are on and we will see how we fare….so any other fabulous bits of your knowledge would be greatly appreciated!
Also just wanted to tell you how much happier Josh seems, there isn’t quite as much of the ear piercing screaming and he seems so much more content in himself. He even ate 2 bowls of his tea last night! Unheard of!
“C2K has changed our household beyond belief. If someone had told me that
by putting the steps in place discussed in one phone call our 2yr old
would be staying in bed within 10 minutes and sleeping through the night
and back to having day sleeps after 3 nights I wouldn’t have believed
it. C2K has given us the tools to be better parents, and given us the
chance to spend time together once the kids are in bed by 7pm...not
10pm! Even though we only spoke on the phone and emailed for our
coaching we are so pleased with the results! Our parenting coach was
always available whenever we had any queries and always took the time to
talk through the process without it ever feeling rushed or that our
'issues' weren't important. ” Danielle - Rural South Australia
Unsettled Baby
From rural Victoria I received a call of help to assist with a unsettled baby."I rang you today regarding needing your help by correspondence. I am really wanting help with getting my baby to stop waking up every 30min - 1hr during the day, and also getting him to have longer sleeps at night. I am confident with settling and resettling, but it would just be great if he didn’t wake in the first place, so that he’s not waking us all of the time, and so I didn’t have to get up to re settle him. I look forward to your help".
An email from one week later after assisting with several emails and phone calls:
"I just thought I’d give you an update on how we are going. I’m not getting my hopes up to much, but we have definitely noticed an improvement in our baby boy over the past few days. He is sleeping better at night, he still wakes up when he shouldn’t occasionally, but I just leave him there or resettle him and then he ends up being in bed for anything from 5-7 hours at a time (last night he went back down at 2.30am, cried at 5.30, but I resettled him, then didn’t wake until 9.00am).He also appears to be getting better during the day as well, not waking up as often as he usually would. So far this morning he has been down for nearly 2 ¾ hours and hasn’t stirred (yippee). I’ve only had to use the white noise twice, and both times he has been “out cold” within 1- 2 minutes. Fingers crossed this all continues. THANK YOU" Kaylene - Wodonga, Vic
