I am often asked when a child can be moved to a Toddler or Floor Bed. I am a big fan of floor beds: it allows children more space, respects their right to get up and play if they are not ready to go to sleep and supports their growing independence. Parents can lay next to the child easily for close support and comfort if a child needs this and removes the risk of the baby or child climbing out of their cot and falling.
I discuss this topic more in this week's blog post!

Alternatives to rewards systems
Last week, I talked about whether we should be rewarding children for their behaviour. We looked at why so-called Reward Charts can be ineffective in the long term, even though they may be a quick fix. After a while, the child either gets bored or the stakes increase and they rewards become a ‘bargaining chip’.
This week, I am looking at other ways parents can support children rather than getting stuck in the position of giving Rewards or Punishments.

For many years, “reward charts” were very common among parents. It was a way to motivate children to behave in certain ways, but there are many difficulties associated with these charts. This week's blog looks at these difficulties. https://in-safe-hands.co.uk/.../to-reward-or-not-to-reward/

This week, we celebrate the role of dads and how, as a dad, you can support your partner. We will focus on establishing and continuing to have a positive and strong relationship with your child throughout their early years and in the future.

Being a new parent can feel overwhelming. As a father, you are adjusting to your role in the family and to the responsibilities which come with this and at times this can feel very isolating. You may have grown up with the idea that men shouldn’t share their feelings and anxieties. You may feel that you should shoulder all the responsibilities that come with being a parent, particularly as a new parent. I hope this blog will give you some ways of meeting your own emotional needs as well as supporting your partner.

With so much information on the internet and advice from well-meaning friends and family, it can be really challenging to know where to start when it comes to supporting your child’s sleep. Join me on Tuesday, 11th July (2-3pm or 8-9pm) for my live webinar sessions. Tickets are £10 and you can get them from Eventbrite, the links to which are on my blog post:

Following on from last week’s blog about Exercise for Children, this week we look at how exercise, diet and sleep work together to promote a healthy child.

As I said last week, exercise has many benefits for children and adults. Keeping active with a healthy balanced diet can greatly impact positively on children’s sleep.

Sibling rivalry!
Sibling rivalry is natural and to be expected. Children want to be the centre of your attention and find it difficult to adjust when a new baby comes along. There can be plenty of conflict, particularly when children are close together in age, as your older child is unable to understand what is happening and why your attention is now diverted elsewhere. In my latest blog, I take a look at this rivalry and give you some tips to help with some of the situations you may encounter:
