Articles like this really get on my goat. Oversimplifying child sleep issues doesnt do anyone ANY favours and often only serves to further confuse desperately tired, sleep deprived parents. A quote from the article: The key to a calm sleeping child – whether a toddler or a grown up school kid – comes down to one thing… Food. How can anyone give such broad advice? How is it even conceivable that EVERY child sleep issue can be overcome with one solution? Sure, the advice given is sound - everything listed could absolutely be interfering with your little ones sleep but to paint the picture of it being the ultimate and only key to blissful sleep is ill-informed at best and deceptive at worst. As a certified child sleep consultant, I generally work with families to overcome behavioural sleep problems, but I absolutely acknowledge that these issues are not the SOLE cause of child sleeplessness. There are a range of other influencing factors, nutritive issues being only one of them. Lets ease up on the one size fits all approaches, hey?
