For over a decade, Deborah Pedrick, founder of familysleep.com has been educating families on how to create and maintain a healthy foundation for sleep in their children. Deborah began her journey back in 1997 after her son was born. She was at a great advantage in that her son’s pediatrician was renowned children's sleep expert, Marc Weissbluth, author of Healthy Sleep habits Happy Child. Having that foundation of knowledge from the very beginning was critical to maintaining healthy sleep habits throughout her son’s life. Deborah realized the knowledge she had was not readily available to most families so she decided to start a forum on the popular parenting site “Parent Soup”.
Over many years she has educated 1,000’s of families on the importance of meeting and maintaining healthy sleep habits in their children. In 2001, Deborah gathered and organized all of her knowledge into as easy to follow resource called, Familysleep.com. Familysleep.com is the number one children’s sleep site on the net, specifically geared towards children’s sleep issues. Today, Deborah’s son is a teenager and , yes, a rock star sleeper. She has a private practice in Stamford, Connecticut where she meets with parents one-on-one, over the phone and through email consults. She has been quoted in the Wall Street Journal, Parents Magazine, NY Family Magazine, and other parenting publications as well as local newspapers, is referred out by many pediatric offices in and around Connecticut and was recently named Parenthood.com’s resident sleep expert. Deborah is a member of the National Sleep Foundation and the American Sleep Association.
Her latest projects?, co-founding the International Association of Child Sleep Consultants. The association's vision is to bring together sleep consultants from around the world who share a solid foundation of knowledge, ethics and experiences. (www.iacsc.com).
