LIFE CHANGING STORIES
From Real Parents Just Like You
Bailey | Mom of 2
I literally never send in reviews like this, but I have to say THANK YOU. My 4.5-year-old has had the worst bedtime struggles, and I'm 15 days out from having baby #2. It's been so challenging thinking about how we are going to figure out her dependent + long + angry bedtime routine with a newborn. I tried out just a few of the strategies last night - rough & tumble, sharing my experience as a kiddo, and letting her get about 50 stuffed animals, and there were NO tears, NO fighting, and she fell asleep in under 40 minutes (which is huge). I am literally sharing with every single person I know, regardless of if they even have kids! Thank you! .
Thea | Mom of 1
I tried your Connect Hearts with my 7-year-old, and this is the most success I have had with helping her stay in her room! We've done it for seven nights now (on and off as she has been at her dad's), and I’m starting to feel more positive and able to start switching my ears off! I have felt on constant alert since I have to be on the camp bed in her room. It got to the point where I couldn't keep going. It's hard, but she holds on to the hearts, and we talk about our heartstrings being connected when we are not together. I'm finally starting to feel we are making progress. Massive thank you!
Meaghan | Mom of 1
We purchased your bedtime course, and it did wonders for our highly sensitive kiddo! I couldn't recommend it enough! After hearing for almost three years nothing but "cut the cord" and "let him cry it out on his own," it was such a breath of fresh air to hear you advise us to stay with our child until the big feelings pass and then try again. After several attempts and sitting through and saving space for so many tears, we were finally able to leave him for 15 seconds, then 30, and so on. We now say goodnight and leave, and he is sleeping in a few minutes. I love and so appreciate you and everything you stand for! It has brought me so much confidence in my motherhood journey, knowing that my husband and I are parenting in the best way for our family! Thank you so much for what you do and who you are!
Kathryn | Mom of 1
Just had to tell you how amazing the Solving Bedtime Battles course is. Firstly, it is such an incredible price for a packed, full-length course with absolutely no semblance of CIO. Not saying there weren't tears, but never left alone. Secondly, our almost 3-year-old went from co-sleeping nearly every night to going to sleep in his own bed/room with just me holding his hand and SLEEPING ALL NIGHT. It's been truly amazing, and no more screaming/bed is lava tantrums. I will admit I was incredibly skeptical, but with time and patience over the course of about a month, it's been an amazing difference.
Kenedie | Mom of 1
Ummmmm, I am in complete shock. My 3.5-year-old, who has co-slept her entire life, just went to bed ALONE. I'm not even through the whole course! It took about 30 minutes of reassurance and going in and out, but she is ASLEEP. I cannot even believe it! We are still co-sleeping, but she put herself to bed first!!! This has never happened!
Larissa | Mom of 2
Just wanted to reach out (again!) and say how thankful I am for your course. I forwarded the bedtime lesson to my husband today, and right as I was losing my sh*t after being so good and calm at bedtime (I), my husband could step in and utilize some strategies that you offered in the lesson. I know not everyone has the luxury of a co-parent, but it was so nice to have something concrete we could both learn from so we could be on the same team and approach from the same angle.
A REAL FAMILY MAKING CHANGE
Emily’s Story
Emily struggled with her son’s sleep for years, who is now eight years old. Here is her sleep story.
I wondered if it was too late…
My husband travelled for work, and our bedtime routine got harder and harder. To the point where my son wouldn’t sleep without me. He is 8. I questioned whether things were too far gone or if we’d need to co-sleep forever.
Just one night and I saw change!
Tonight, I did the Connected Hearts. And oh my, the way it melted his heart…beyond words. Since he’s 8, I was able to talk to him about his fears, worries, etc. He listened. Seeing how much my effort to feel close to him already made him feel safe in just one night means the world. I already know bedtime will be easier moving forward.
It’s what we both needed.
This approach was exactly what my son and I needed. He loved knowing I was coming back to check on him, and it left both of us feeling so much better than the old bedtime struggle we were having for years. I feel like we are working through a solution that makes sense. Thank you so much for your advice!!

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have access to the course?
For a lifetime! We offer this for two reasons:
- Parents are often busy and tired. You need to be able to access this course when you find the time and energy!
- Children’s needs and struggles change as they develop! You can skip ahead to the lessons you need right now and come back for the rest when you need it!
What age is this course useful for?
This course is designed for children from ages 2 – 12 years old. It’s for parents of toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children!
How long does this course take to complete?
The course contains 2 hours of video material broken down into bite-sized videos (each between 2-10 minutes long). Skip ahead to any lesson you need and go back to the other lessons when you need them!
Can I gift this course to someone?
Of course! You can purchase a digital gift card using this link. You can even schedule course access to be given at a future date so your loved one will receive it on their special day!
Will there be crying?
We are dealing with children, so I’ll be honest with you. Probably. What sets this course apart from other toddler sleep approaches is we won’t tell you to let your child cry it out alone or hold the door closed. You will learn to support your child to sleep with responsive methods.
How long does it take to get results?
Many parents see results as soon as 1 or 2 nights, and others see change over 30 days (research tells us it takes at least 21 days to see a long-term change).
Like all things parenting, there are no guarantees when we support children with unique needs. This is why we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee if you aren’t happy with your purchase.
What makes this course different from all the other sleep courses?
Other bedtime approaches miss the mark because they focus on one-size-fits-all sleep solutions for your child. But kids are unique. And the most common reason sleep struggles happen is because your child wants to be with YOU! Our course helps you look at your child’s need for closeness with you and helps them feel safe and close to you while they fall asleep in their own bed.
Will this work for a highly sensitive child?
This course is designed with all types of children in mind, including those who are highly sensitive! Our approach focuses on understanding your child’s unique needs so you’re able to use our strategies in a way that works for your child.
Is it helpful for a child who has been falling asleep with me?
Absolutely! We offer strategies and tools to help you and your child transition your child from falling asleep with you to sleeping on their own, while still helping them feel close to you – even if you’re not right there. You can start using these and see change as early as tonight!
Would this course help a child who has nightmares?
Yes, our course covers nightmares, night terrors, and other nighttime fears. We delve into why nightmares occur and provide practical solutions to reduce their frequency and impact.
Can I do this course if I’ve already tried cry-it-out?
Yes! We love it when parents come to our course who feel like they’ve already tried everything. Our approach is not cry-it-out. We will give you new strategies, insights, and an approach that works!
Would this course help a child who wakes up multiple times in the night?
Certainly! Our course covers common issues like multiple night wakings and provides strategies to help your child sleep through the night.
Is it helpful for my school-age child?
Definitely. The strategies and tools in this course can be used for children between ages 2-12! We’ve seen a lot of success with school-age children because the course helps with one of the biggest struggles that children face – separation!
Is it worth doing the course if your child is still in a crib?
Yes, the course content would be beneficial for a child in a crib (ages 2 years old and up). Whether it’s helping your child move from being rocked to sleep to falling asleep independently or working through nighttime fears, our tools can be used for children who sleep in a crib or bed.
Is the course self-paced, or do I have to watch it at a certain time?
The course is completely self-paced. Once you sign up, you’ll have access to all the material and can review them on your own time, at your own speed. And you can revisit the content whenever you need it for years to come!
If I have questions while I take the course, can I ask them?
Inside the course, you’ll find a discussion forum. This forum is a place where parents can ask their questions related to the course material. Our team of experts will help point you to the videos or handouts in the course to help you get your questions answered!
