Hi there, my name is Chloe and I am a certified pediatric sleep consultant and the owner and founder of La Lune Consulting. I coach parents of little ones age 0-5 on the importance of independent sleep and how to achieve peaceful, consolidated nights and naps.

And that's important: because the effects of a lack of sleep on a kid go far beyond being drowsy during the day.

How Sleep Deprivation Affects Children
