Child sleep support for working parents

Supporting working parents doesn’t stop once children leave the baby stage.
Sleep challenges often resurface, or intensify during the early school years, affecting employee wellbeing, focus and productivity.

I provide evidence-based child sleep support for parents of children aged 3–10, an age group often overlooked by traditional workplace parenting programmes.

Why sleep support for ages 3–10 matters

Common challenges for parents of 3–10 year olds include:

  • bedtime battles and emotional dysregulation

  • anxiety around sleep or separation

  • frequent night waking

  • co-sleeping that no longer feels sustainable

When sleep is disrupted long-term, parents are more likely to experience exhaustion, stress and reduced work performance.

Targeted support at this stage can make a meaningful difference.

Most employer-led parenting support focuses on infancy. Yet many parents still struggle with their child’s sleep well into the school years.

How I support your employees

I work with organisations to provide practical, flexible child sleep support that fits around working life.

Support options can include:

  • live or recorded webinars for parents

  • short 4-5 minute top tip videos on common sleep challenges

  • downloadable guides and resources

  • confidential 1:1 sleep consultations for employees

All support is:

  • suitable for children aged 3–10

  • grounded in child development and emotional wellbeing

  • realistic to implement alongside work and family life

Benefits for your organisation

Providing child sleep support for working parents can help:

  • improve employee wellbeing and mental health

  • reduce stress-related absenteeism

  • support retention of experienced staff

  • strengthen your organisation’s family-friendly culture

Supporting parents outside of infancy sends a clear message: their wellbeing matters at every stage.
