Episode 43: Self-soothing, the gentle alternative to sleep training with Cara Tyrrell from Core 4 Parenting

In today’s episode I’m having a nice discussion with Cara Tyrrell, founder of core4parenting, who empowers proactive parents to raise happy, healthy, kindergarten-ready children from birth.

Cara has Bachelor degrees in ASL and Linguistics and a Masters degree in Education.

She’s a trained Early Childhood Teacher, Early Years Caregiver, continuing education consultant, and parent coach. In her preschool and Kindergarten classrooms, she identified a pattern of

underdeveloped skill sets in her students leading to a professional pivot as an online Early Childhood Parent Educator.

Cara founded Core4Parenting, an online community and course platform for parents and caregivers that follows the developmental path of the young child while educating, empowering, and engaging parents and caregivers to be their child’s brain architect between birth and 5 years old, setting them up for success in school and life.

Cara accepted to come to the show today to talk to us about self-soothing. I am not a fan of sleep training, because I feel we are missing so many important points about children’s development by doing that, so I found it very interesting to hear about this notion of sleep-soothing.

Cara took us through:

👶 What is exactly self-soothing? 

👶 How different is it from sleep training?

👶 What does it look like in real life when parents are using this methodology?
