Only then did we discuss my situation and only then did she offer a couple of suggestions&...

Helping your baby sleep during the night. February 26, 2015. Bull; 0 Comments. Note: This post is relevant for babies of any age, plus toddlers and young children.]. It’s 2am and my 5 month old baby is awake. Considering he went to sleep at 6pm the night before, I happily give him a feed. He goes back to sleep, but is a bit wriggly. I’m awake now and groggily start to realise that it’s not food he’s after any more. There’s something else he needs. So what’s going on? Do babies have feelings? So with all ...

Helping with Separation Anxiety – at Bedtime & School. March 12, 2015. Bull; 0 Comments. My 6 year old daughter, Emily, had never been great separating from me. Once I’d gone, she was fine, but the point of separation was always very hard for her, and increasingly frustrating for me. For over a year, leaving her in at school was frequently difficult, plus separation at bedtime could be challenging too. Something needed to shift and I needed to help her with her big, scary feelings. We started our usual r...
