How to Solve Sleep Problems for Toddlers and Preschoolers: (BFBN Week Topic: Sleep)

Welcome to the Babywise Friendly Blog Network Week! This week happens twice a year, and it is SO very exciting. This week I have the pleasure of bringing to you, 8 posts all on the hot babywise topic of: sleep.

Below you will find our schedule for the week, so you know what sleep topics to expect.

Sleep is just one of those things that babywise mamas love to talk about. We all prioritize our children's sleep, and really focus in on making our children's sleep as good as possible.

In the process, lots of "sleep troubleshooting" happens in our babywise worlds!

Today the Babywise Mom, yes the one from BabywiseMom.com (Valerie), is posting her thoughts on how to solve sleep issues when it comes to the toddler and preschool aged child.

She has 4 children that she's gotten to practice her babywise techniques on. One started late, and then she fell in love with the babywise concept and implemented it from there on out. Her website is pure gold to the new babywise mom, and something I still use as a resource for myself!

In her blog today, she gives invaluable insight to the toddler and preschool world of sleep problems. Often it is a simple solution, but one that many parents forget to evaluate- stimulation.

Is your child getting enough physical and mental stimulation throughout the day? Valerie has some great insight today on why this is so important, how it can effect your child's sleep, and how to get more physical and mental stimulation into your child's day!

My post is all about how to recognize if your child is truly ready for no naps, or just going through a phase. Basically, my message is to hang on to that last nap if you are unsure, but I give you 4 ways to tell for sure!
