If you've ever found yourself whisper-yelling âWhy wonât you sleep?!â into the darkness at 2 a.m., you're not alone. And contrary to what books and advice columns might suggest, itâs not always about routines or bad habitsâit could be your childâs temperament. In this powerful episode, I sit down with Macall Gordon, a certified pediatric sleep consultant and co-author of Why Wonât You Sleep?, to dig deep into whatâs really going on with those sensitive, alert, big-feeling kids who just. wonât. sleep.
We talk about why standard sleep training advice often fails for these so-called âlivewireâ kids, the link between temperament and sleep challenges, and how guilt, shame, and exhaustion can make parents feel like theyâre doing everything wrong. Macall shares practical, compassionate insight and encourages parents to stop blaming themselves and start building tools that actually fit their childâs wiring.
If youâre tired of cookie-cutter advice and ready for real strategies, honest truth, and a whole lot of grace, this conversation is for you.
