WHAT IS SLEEP TALKING?

Sleep talking is saying positive and affirmative sentences when your child is in deep sleep. It targets child’s subconscious mind to make changes just like how hypnotherapy works. Sleep talking is about talking 2-5 mins with your baby at night after they are fast asleep

 

BENEFITS OF SLEEP TALKING 

Every child is different and there are some struggles with every child that we are not able to address despite trying multiple things. 

It can also be helpful when kids are experiencing change, for example starting school, moving house, changing school, sibling rivalry, new siblings, and parent separation.”
If your child is struggling with confidence, anxiety, or just needs help learning a new skill try sleep talking 

I’ve tried it for weaning from breastmilk, toilet training, preparing for school, trying to make him a bit social, sleep regression, food rejection, brushing his teeth, sharing toys and the list goes on..

 HOW TO DO IT?

Whisper positive affirmative statements in the gentlest way once they fall asleep. 

It has to be done within 5-10 minutes of falling deep asleep.

Try to address 2-3 problems at a time and not more.

Start with saying you are, for example " Hi baby! This is Mumma, keep sleeping"

1.	Focus on behaviour you want to change 

2.	Talk about the habits you want to improve 

3.	Be consistent 

4.	Always start on a lovely note 

5.	Talk and communicate with baby in present tense 
Correct Affirmation:

Dharm always talks softly

Incorrect Affirmation: “Dharm does not talk loudly.”
1.	For example, if your kid does not like to brush his teeth, then you can say “You are a very good boy who likes to brush your teeth”.

2.	If your kid is throwing a tantrum every day you can say “You are a very good girl. You like to be happy”.

3.	For being social you can say, “You love sharing toys with others and love to play with other kids”
TAKEAWAY 

Some transitions and stress in life are very difficult to handle even for adults which is then seen in our behaviour and actions. 

The same happens with kids, smaller kids are unable to express themselves which makes it more difficult. Lets not blame their behaviour and try to address the situation in a calm and positive way. 

Start using the positive sleep talk with your kids right away. We can help our kids in more ways than we can comprehend

Empathy is the ability to put yourself in the shoes of someone else and understanding what they are feeling or experiencing.
Developing an understanding of what others are feeling, how their actions can impact on others, and why someone might be experiencing feelings at a particular time is a valuable life skill for children to possess.
Building a sense of empathy is an important developmental process for children, it can benefit them not only in childhood but in their adult life as well.
✨ It helps them to build a sense of security and stronger relationships with others.

✨ It encourages tolerance and acceptance of others.

✨ It promotes good mental health.

✨ It promotes social harmony, helping tendancy and can reduce the likelihood of bullying.

✨ They learn to regulate their own emotions.
HOW TO DEVELOP EMPATHY IN CHILDREN:
🌈 Parents are children’s first and most enduring teachers, we can be a good role model by acknowledging and valuing others’ feelings, sympathy when someone is sad, upset, distressed, frustrated or in need of help.When children show negative emotions, acknowledge how they feel. Provide nurturing until they signal they are OK to move onto something else.
🌈 Young children sometimes need help understanding what they are feeling, so label the emotion for them. For example, if they are crying, say: “You seem upset. How can I help?”.

Helping your child to name their feelings, as understanding their own feelings is an important first step in understanding the feelings of others.
🌈 Talking to your child about how other people may be feeling, and why. This helps to build their emotional language and think about other people’s perspectives.
🌈 Caring for animals and plants, which helps children understand the role they play in helping another living being.
🌈 Perhaps one of the simplest ways to help children develop a sense of empathy is by reading books together, as children learn to associate feelings and actions with their favourite characters and stories.
❤️Remember, empathy is a complex skill and will continue to develop across your child’s life❤️ #empathy  #responsiveparenting  #gentleparent  #gentleparenting  #responsiveparent
