Beyond The Behaviour - Raising & Regulating

Sleep is one of those topics every parent has feelings about. Strong feelings. The kind that come with dark circles, cold coffee, and the quiet desperate hope that tonight will be different.In this episode, Madeline shares why sleep is actually a skill — not something children are just supposed to know how to do — and what happens when that skill never gets taught. (Hint: she works with 15-year-olds who are still struggling.)She also shares her own experience as a trained infant and toddler sleep consultant who still walked her son back to bed approximately 2,500 times. Her husband slept through all of it.You'll learn:Why your child isn't being defiant — they just haven't learned this skill yetWhat sleep support is NOT (no, it's not cry-it-out)The 2-night rule and why boring consistency is your most powerful tool4 practical strategies that actually workWhen to get extra supportJoin the free hub at nurture-beyond.lovable.app for guides and resources.

"Why is my child like this?" — It's the question every parent quietly asks. In this first episode, I'm introducing myself, sharing why I started this podcast, and laying the foundation for everything we're going to explore together. We talk about what behaviour actually is (a language, not a problem), why the "Basics Sweep" is always your first stop, and what you can expect from this show. If you're a parent navigating big feelings, hard behaviours, or the NDIS system — you're in the right place.
