It’s 2 am…The house is quiet…It’s been a long and exhausting day but you are finally in a deep sleep…Dreaming of some beautiful beach or relaxing wilderness…Only to be awakened by that familiar voice…”Mommy!”
Sound familiar? We’ve all been there. The call in the middle of the night. For water, to use the bathroom, more hugs, bad dreams…It doesn’t matter why – it just matters that it’s happening – AGAIN.
And for many of us, it’s not the first, or last call, you are going to hear that night. In fact, this may just be the beginning of your child’s nightly needs for reassurance, cuddles, backrubs, etc. And this may even be after you struggled to get your child to sleep in the first place. Once this habit forms, it feels nearly impossible to break. But there is help.
