SleepTalk for Children

Rebecca is now a trained consultant in the Goulding sleep talk for children process having done extensive training with Joan Goulding

The Goulding Sleep Talk™ for Children has been described as a “Powerful Process of Positive Parenting”. A two minute gift that lasts a life time.

The Goulding Sleep Talk™ for Children process is about teaching parents to take an empowering and positive role in the development of their child’s emotional resilience. This process could be said to create the minds firewall, which protects against negative suggestions, much like a firewall on a computer.

It enables ALL children, whether they are ‘normal’ ‘gifted’ or in need of extra assistance to benefit from this special gift. It is a practical stress free process of assisting parents to help their children while they sleep, waking up in the morning with a more positive mind set, enabling them to maximise individual potential. It only takes a few minutes to present, and the results last a lifetime.

The Goulding Sleep Talk™ for Children process was pioneered by Joane Goulding way back in 1976, growing out of experience with her own daughter Michelle. Michelle was diagnosed as having an emotional and intellectual IQ of 45. Through this process Michelle is now 45yo, married and living independently.

Are you aware of the power of words, the effect that they have?

In the day to day business of being a parent, trying to establish guidelines and encouraging the appropriate behaviour, we often say things that seem quite harmless. We may say “You are such a little terror!” as we grab our child for a hug. In a childs world this can be taken quite literally, so they may form a belief that “we” think they are a terror, hug them so “we” must like them being a terror.

On the other side of this “we” might smack them or yell at them for being a terror.

This sets up confusion and disharmony within the child, one day I’m hugged the next I’m in trouble.

The Goulding SleepTalk process can help assist in counteracting this possible confusion and disharmony.

Learned helplessness occurs with children in almost any family, and suggestions accepted as truth become part of the belief system of their subconscious minds. Younger children are especially vulnerable, accepting negative suggestions with the same energy as positive ones. If your child’s belief structure is one based largely on fear or lack of confidence, a feeling of rejection or inadequacy, the ensuing decisions made by their conscious mind will of course reflect those beliefs.

The process is about developing a child's emotional resilience, the mind's firewall, which protects against negative suggestions; much like a firewall on a computer protects it from outside interference and damage.

The Goulding SleepTalk™ process gives parents a second chance to undo the possible harms caused by unkind words they may have said to their children during a busy day.

The Goulding SleepTalk process is a very simple yet direct program in which parents are involved in. it is important to mention that this process can be used in conjunction with psychotherapy or indeed any other form of therapy or assistance which the child may be receiving.

The process seems to enhance the other therapies the child may be or have had, and allows an acceptance or change.

Once positive messages have been absorbed they will stay with your child for ever.

The Goulding SleepTalk™ process is for children with difficulties, and children with none. It’s for every parent who wants their children to reach their potential, whatever that potential may be.

The Goulding SleepTalk™ process is the five minute gift you give your children that lasts a lifetime. The Goulding SleepTalk™ process is easy to learn, takes parents only a few minutes daily at bedtime, and it can’t be “done wrong”. It’s absolutely safe, ethical and positive. SleepTalk™ is for people who are looking for a simple, non-intrusive self-esteem and behaviour change process for children that can help parents achieve what they want most - happy children and happy families.

The Goulding SleepTalk™ process isn’t a cure for illnesses, but a gentle way to enhance children’s self-esteem and make their lives more positive

Imagine a whole generation of children who have instilled in them since birth the certain knowledge that:

They are loved and loveable

They are valuable and valued.

They have within them all of the positive strength they will ever need to    succeed.

Who wake everyday of their lives knowing that “today will be a happy day” regardless of what the day may bring.

Children’s healthcare professionals have been using the The Goulding SleepTalk™ process for over 30 years.


Alex Bartsch BA Hons Psych, says of the Goulding SleepTalk process


The 5 minute gift that lasts a lifetime.

‘The greatest legacy anyone can leave their child, regardless of financial or social status, is a belief system that allows them to effectively deal with all aspects of their world. SleepTalk  allows parents to complement their existing support strategies with a process that is inexpensive, efficient, non intrusive, ethical and effective.

A lot of parents and healthcare professionals say the Goulding SleepTalk™ children’s self-esteem process is magic. It’s not magic. It’s a powerful self-help program developed by educator, speaker and hypnotherapy professional Joane Goulding which parents and childcare professionals have been using for more than 30 years, because it WORKS.

Most of us would agree that it is difficult for children to confidently deal with issues in their life if they are anxious, fearful, unhappy or even believe they are unloved or un-loveable. Children trying to cope with bed-wetting, for example, can be anxious, sad, and lack self-confidence. Children given the label ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) may in fact be trying to deal with their world and their family.
