A common (and challenging!) concern for families is meeting a child’s sleep needs. Sleep can go awry for a multitude of reasons and can be very complex to treat. During this webinar, we will review the goals around sleep duration across childhood and adolescence as well as the underlying process leading to sleep/wake and informing their rhythms. We will also identify common concerns with sleep in this age range and practical tools and education to provide to families to help them all sleep more soundly at night.
"Good Enough Parenting" Webinar
This webinar was presented by Dr. Timothy A. Cavell and Dr. Lauren B. Quetsch.
To build healthy and lasting parent-child relationships, parents need practical strategies that meet their child's needs and address the circumstances that affect their families. A parent's job unfolds and shifts over time. Concerns about sleep become worries about tantrums; anxieties about sharing become fears about grades and acting out in school. These concerns are natural, but many parents struggle to handle it all. Some feel drained, some lash out, and some feel like the worst parents in the world.
This webinar will introduce parents to a program that will allow them to build a stronger relationship with their child. No one can be a perfect parent, but you can be a good enough parent, one who shepherds their child toward a healthy, productive adulthood.
