I once had a family. Really sweet family but the child ran the show (14months old). The family never slept as the child never slept. One morning the somewhat proudly (???) Announced how the dad got NO sleep as the onky way the child would sleep was on dad, with dad sitting up in a chair with the childs finger IN his belly button). Sigh.

Anyways once adjusted this child SLEPT for me. Then they asked me to shorten her naps so she would sleep better at home. I merely, nicely asked "hmm do you find she sleeps better on weekends when she has not napped fpr you?" Pause. No not at all. "Ok, well I would be very concerned about cutting her sleep back here as she clearly needs the sleep and sleep is so crucial etc etc"

Later that night they messaged me asking me to push the sleep at my place so she was getting as much as she could. This child slept 45min after arriving in morning (2hr nap) then a 2-3hr nap after lunch. They were a smart family, but somehow trapped in a crappy sleep situation, but i did appreciate that they respected the childs need for sleep...even if they aid me to let the child sleep since they couldnt make it happen lol.
