Jersey Youth Service Visit

A Relaxed Morning Talking All Things Sleep with Jersey Youth Service’s Young Parent Group

This week, I had the pleasure of visiting the Jersey Youth Service Young Parent Group for a relaxed and informal chat about one of the most important (yet often most frustrating!) topics for parents—sleep. It was such a wonderful opportunity to connect with a group of amazing young parents, sharing experiences, struggles, and practical tips in a supportive and friendly space.

The morning was all about open conversation—no pressure, no judgment, just a chance to talk honestly about the challenges of getting little ones to sleep and, just as importantly, making sure parents are getting the rest they need too. From night wakings and bedtime battles to naps and routines, we covered a wide range of sleep topics tailored to the real-life experiences of the parents in the room.

One of the key things we discussed was how small changes can make a big difference—whether it’s adjusting bedtime routines, creating a calmer sleep environment, or understanding how age and development impact sleep patterns. It was great to hear parents sharing their own tips with each other, proving just how valuable peer support can be in the parenting journey.

I’m so grateful to the Jersey Youth Service for inviting me along and for creating such a friendly

space for young parents to come together. Sleep challenges can feel overwhelming, but support and community make all the difference.

Need some sleep help? Feel free to reach out! Let’s work together to make restful nights a reality.

Until next time—sweet dreams!
