Online Support for Sleep Deprived Parents Who Wish to Teach Their Children to Sleep Unassisted



Parents are raving about Darcie French's "Empathic Sleep teaching."

Darcie French is a mother of five and was trained as a social worker at the University of Victoria in BC, Canada. When her fifth child was born in the spring of 2003 and suffered from severe colic and resulting issues, she found a serious lack of support both online and in her community. She solved her baby's sleep problems on her own by teaching her empathically how to sleep unassisted- without using agonizing CIO measures like Ferberizing.

She then specialized her social work degree by completing a 400 hour practicum working with young parents on sleep issues. Plus, she wrote an easy to understand ebook on why sleep issues develop, as well as how to design a personalized sleep plan of action. In 2004 started a website and parent support Forum at www.babysleephelp.com to accompany the ebook.

Baby Sleep Help.com is on the verge of a trend in parenting that is moving away from applying "textbook" information to real-life scenarios. Darcie French understands that nobody knows their own baby better than they do, and that no other "expert" is in the room with parent and baby during sleep teaching. Babies don't always "go by the book", and parents can easily get overwhelmed with all the literature that proclaims to know the "right" way to parent. Ultimately, if a parent is not comfortable with the method of sleep teaching, it won't work. Thus, Baby Sleep Help.com strives to reinforce, validate and "empathize" with existing parental values and beliefs- instead of enforcing one particular method.

If you or someone you know is a parent frustrated by the overwhelming amount of textbook information about "how to sleep train", or if you know you need to sleep teach but don't wish to use the tired old method of CIO, this site is for you.
