At the last meeting of Global Parent Network, we identified our collective need to deconstruct "sleep training" practices. A culture of sleep training has emerged based upon a medical physician's well-marketed text, and parents desperate to sleep through the night.
Child Development Specialists, Social Workers, Intervention Specialists, Early Childhood Educators and very widely-read novice parents have continued over the decade to express deep concern around "sleep training" practices. Now, the growing body of brain research deserves our full attention with regard to the likely effects of "sleep training." Developmentally sensitive means must be explored nation-wide in order to better educate and support babies and parents. We are developing a blog forum for gathering and sharing caring, developmentally sound, and brain sensitive information/practices. Our blogsite is entitled, "Sleep Whispering."
It is Global Parent's mission to study, practice, conduct research, and educate parents and those considering parenthood around the world. As professionals committed to healthy bonding, developmentally enlightened practices, and expanding our capacity to share healthy options worldwide, we agreed make infant-toddler sleep our clinical and research issue for this professional year at Palladio. Our commitment is to delve deeply into both extant research, and conduct current collaborative discipline research. This makes access to tappong into clinical experiences of practitioners and their personal networks worldwide.
Please share this All Call with your network connections before this Sunday's DinnerFest. During DinnerFest, our focus will be
- the range of states and countries contacted
- variations in contact approaches to derive the greatest response worldwide
- appreciating you for your professional commitment to the health and well-being of parents and children world-wide. Children now and children to come will prosper further than in previous times because of our advocacy.
