Hey, check out my fundamental principles
- The most effective sleep training method for both the family and child is a holistic approach.
- It is crucial to encourage a child's ability to self-soothe.
- Allowing a child to "cry it out" without parental intervention is not an effective sleep training method.
- A process that involves healthy parental presence and gradual exit is recommended.
- A healthy mind, positive motivation, and a healthy diet are essential.
