Helping Your Partner Be More Involved in Supporting Sleep

Parent preference is a really normal thing, and it’s a common struggle around sleep. Sometimes it’s developmental and sometimes it comes from doing what works for so long that we just don’t have experience doing something else anymore. In this episode, I’m sharing some tips around parent preference and how to gently encourage balancing things out. I share some tips for supporting the relationship away from sleep, ways to get them involved with you around sleep with both parents present, and some ideas for how to work towards supporting sleep with that parent on their own. This is a process that takes time, support, and patience, but it can definitely be worth the effort. Resources related to this episodeCheck out my related blog post on helping your partner be more confident in supporting sleep when there’s parent preference: https://intuitiveparentingdc.com/blog/2022/6/21/how-to-help-your-partner-be-more-involved-at-bedtimeConnect with Kim Instagram: instagram.com/intuitive_parenting_dcFacebook:  facebook.com/intuitiveparentingdcLearn more about working with Kim: https://intuitiveparentingdc.com/
