No, not at all. Sleep training doesn't mean to let your child cry it out alone in a dark room until they give up and fall asleep physically and emotionally exhausted. There is a wide range of methods available, from more gradual/ in room approaches to out of the room approaches where we can give your child some extra practicing space. Depending on your individual situation & progress, we can tailor the approach according to your & your child’s needs as we go!
