Infant and Child Sleep and Settling Consulting
We offer a range of sleep and settling services tailored to meet your individual needs. We provide a holistic approach to sleep, understanding there is more to sleep that could be affecting your child. Our Sleep and Settling is through responsive settling. We do not use the "cry it out" method.
Child Development/ Play
Child development in the early years through secure attachment/bonding and play based experiences are important to your child's brain development, attachment/bonding, physical development and cognitive/language development. Don't forget starting solids, this is milestone with your baby. At Little Steps, we have created a package that will support you to understand age appropriate development and how to support your child through play.
Behaviour Support
Behaviour can be challenging when we are struggling to understand what our child is trying to communicate to us. At Little Steps, we have created a support package that can support you to understand why your child is displaying these behaviours and what strategies you can try to support your child through them.
We also understand children can require more support than we as parents can offer. I also offer support to apply to the NDIS, working with you and any other relevant services.
