Zetti Testimonial

Before

• Supper at 6/6:30, rushed bedtime, often 8pm before kids are asleep. Kids need parents to help them fall asleep
• Mum and baby sleeping on a single mattress in the corridor outside children’s rooms. Multiple night wakings for everyone, with howling and drama.
• Very fussy 4 year old, picked at meals, snacked constantly, complained frequently of being hungry and “my tummy hurts”. 3 year old starting to do the same.
• Older two children competing for parents’ attention, squabbling, tears and shouting. Everyone in the family volatile and low resilience.

After

• Kids’ supper before 5, peaceful bedtime routine, kids asleep well before 7pm without fail. No parental input required after lights out.
• Mum happy in her own bed! Children sleep 12 hours and play sweetly in their rooms until 7am. Occasional night wakings: child comes quietly to parent, who leads them silently back to bed. Job done.
• 3 large, healthy meals, no snacks, no whingeing! Treats enjoyed straight after meals are guilt free. Mealtimes are a pleasure. Oldest child happily eating a greater variety of foods.
• “Special time” with each parent for each child every day. Children visibly grown in confidence in all aspects of life, showing greater independence and pride in their achievements.
  Peace and harmony… well, mostly!

Amanda’s methods are gentle but effective. There is no ‘controlled crying’, or ‘cry-it-out’ used. It’s not a quick fix, but a holistic approach to family life that works on the principle that a happy, secure, well rested child doesn’t need a lot of parental input to fall asleep or to go back to sleep if they wake in the night. Amanda is extremely knowledgeable, kind, supportive and passionate about gentle parenting

– and it works! Thank you, Sleep Lady xx
