Have you ever said any of this about your child?
"It's like she has FOMO. She never wants to sleep."
"I have to bounce on a yoga ball to get them to sleep."
"He goes from 0 to 100 if I don't get to him fast."
"She had her eyes wide open at birth. She's so alert."
"This child notices everything. Doesn't miss a thing."
"She absolutely knows what she wants and just never gives up."
"I swear he never looks tired."
If so...
You, tired mamas
and papas,
have a "livewire."
What's a "livewire"?
These are children who come into the world with juuust a little more current running through their systems. They are more intense, sensitive, alert, engaged, persistent, and perceptive than other children the same age. If you feel like you're the only one with a child like this, think again. It's estimated that about 20% of children are wired like this. They notice more, they feel more, and they need more help with all of it.
Don't worry. I've got you.
Do you have a livewire? Are YOU a livewire? Take the quiz.
A Game-changing Approach for Exhausted Parents of Nonstop, Super Alert, Big Feeling Kids
Why Won't You SLEEP?!
Available on Audible and in print!
by Macall Gordon, M.A. & Kim West, M.S.W. (The Sleep Lady)
Finally. . .a sleep book that doesn't use crying-it-out and is written specifically for alert, intense, sensitive young children (up to 6 years)!
It also focuses on you as the parent of one of these little hurricanes. . .
because I know (from experience) that it is not easy or straightforward.
"This is one of those 'life-changing' books you sometimes stumble upon as a parent....This book gave me hope and a way forward when I knew in my gut what everyone else had to offer wasn't going to work." (Amazon Review)

Because of my experience as a mom of TWO livewires (who never, ever slept as babies), I really, really know what it's like to have a child who is just MORE. It requires every ounce of faith and stamina and energy you have, just to keep up.
As a researcher and sleep coach, I've worked with so many parents in the same boat and I know they absolutely require a different approach to sleep (and well, everything). Because if the other stuff worked, you wouldn't be here, right?
You need strategies that work with temperament—not against it—to get everyone (yes, including you, exhausted mamas and papas) more sleep. It IS possible.
