Practical guidance for everyday challenges
Hi, I'm Tiffany, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, Certified Behavioral Sleep Practitioner, and mom of three. I believe strategies should make sense not only in theory, but in the realities of everyday family life.
Here you'll find practical information about children's behavior, sleep, routines, and development. Topics include everything from meltdowns, transitions, and building independence to bedtime challenges, sleep difficulties, and support for children with autism or ADHD.
My goal is to help you better understand what may be contributing to a challenge and share approaches grounded in behavioral science that are realistic to use at home.

Why Consistent Bedtime Routines Fail (And What Works)
"Have you tried being more consistent?" If you're a parent struggling with sleep challenges, you've heard this advice countless times. But what if I told you that consistency alone isn't the solution? As a behavior analyst, I see parents implement perfectly predictable bedtime routines that still fail to improve their child's sleep. The problem isn't your dedication to routine - it's that maintaining the same approach without addressing the real barriers is like building a house on sand. Discover why "just be consistent" advice falls short and learn the strategic approach that actually works for families dealing with bedtime battles, night wakings, and sleep resistance.
