“I love that this course is so accessible. Alyssa has put together all the crucial information you need as a parent or caregiver to make a sleep plan that will work for everybody. Understanding the science behind sleep made it so much easier to not only create a plan that works for us now, but I also feel confident that I can adjust as my kiddos grow and situations change. It’s like I was struggling in the kitchen and instead of following recipes, I took a culinary class. Having the knowledge to create the plans myself gives me confidence as a parent.”
As the only girl with four brothers in a small farm town, I grew up in the village in the traditional sense, grandparents down the street, running in and out of neighborhood houses. At age five I could be found walking around with my infant brother in my arms, soothing him to sleep. As the years unfolded this trend continued, caring for multiple children at once in my teen years, supporting single, working moms, and nannying all through college. After getting my bachelors degree I moved to NYC as a live-in nanny to elementary school-aged kiddos and started teaching preschool during the day while they were at school. I went on to get my master's in early childhood education because those tiny human brains fascinate me.
Ya know what fills my soul though? That message from a mama who got quality sleep for the first time in months (…or years) and can show up as the woman she wants to be. The 2-year-old who is rested enough to work on emotional development and learns to advocate for themselves, “I feel sad about cleaning up my toys. Can I have a hug?”
It's remarkably hard to navigate this all on your own, and I believe we are all better at showing up in this world when we have each other to lean on. We created the modern parenting village at Seed & Sew, combining parents in the trenches with experts in the field to raise emotionally intelligent humans, and friends, that starts with a solid night's sleep. Want in?
Module One: Sleep is never JUST about sleep
What we see on the surface, is just that, the surface view, but our job is to figure out what is at the root of the challenge. Let's dive into sleep foundations first!
Module Two: Ages & Stages
Do you feel like every time you blink they're going through a different change? It really can feel overwhelming. Fear not, we are diving into what to expect at different ages and stages and how to respond through the changes.
Module Three: Sleep Pressure
If you've ever heard me talk about sleep then you've for sure heard me chat about sleep pressure. This is the answer to 90% of our sleep consultations. You'll want allllll the goodies in this bad boy.
Module Four: Cosleeping, Rock & Play, Crib Sleep, Oh My!
Disclaimer: I don't give a flying care where your kiddo sleeps as long as they're safe. In this module, we chat about achieving sleep goals in different locations, as well as how to navigate that crib to bed transition without just crossing fingers and hoping for the best.
Module Five: Emotional Support
You know we are all about raising emotionally intelligent humans and sleep is no different. We want kiddos to know they are safe and loved through the process. In this module, we chat about the language of cries, setting boundaries, establishing routines, and helping your kiddos navigate all the changes.
Module Six: Behavior Approaches
There are a billion books out there on different ways to help these kiddos learn a new routine or break old habits. In this module, we are guiding you through the ones we find most successful and helping you figure out which one would work best for your family unit. Sleep isn't a one size fits all kind gig.
Bonus!!
Module Seven: High Needs Kiddo
Temperament and sensory needs play a serious role in sleep and as we said, it isn't one size fits all. This module is for our kiddos who need specific sensory input or suffer from serious FOMO.
Module Eight: Daylight Savings Time
You can thank me later for this bad boy. We are giving you all the tools to successfully navigate DST both spring and fall so you aren't winging it and then playing catch up for weeks!

“I came for the sleep but had no idea what else this course would bring me. Getting out of the door for work is easier now because we aren’t all exhausted. We are seeing fewer sick days and genuinely just enjoying our days more as a result of our whole house finally getting the sleep we need. I only wish I’d known about this course sooner!”Sign up today to prioritize sleep for your kiddo!
