SleepTalk® is a beautifully simple process that takes just 3–5 minutes each night, yet has helped families for more than 50 years to nurture confidence, calm and emotional wellbeing in children.
It works during a unique stage of sleep where the conscious mind rests but the subconscious is open and receptive. This allows gentle, positive messages to be absorbed deeply — shaping the way a child feels, thinks and reacts during the day.
By speaking to your child during this optimal sleep stage, parents have a remarkable opportunity to build a stronger, more confident inner world from the inside out. In the morning, children wake with a different mindset — calmer, happier, more resilient, and more connected to their parent’s voice and love.
Child anxiety, emotional overwhelm and social stress are rising across the world.
Research from The University of Sydney revealed dramatic increases in antidepressant and antipsychotic prescriptions for children aged 10–14 — some rising over 50% within just a few years.
This reinforces something we already feel as parents:
They need confidence, not pressure.
They need connection, not correction.
SleepTalk® gives parents a simple way to support this — gently, lovingly, naturally.
SleepTalk® was first developed by a hypnotherapist for his daughter, who had multiple developmental and neurological challenges. With consistent practice, she grew into adulthood with security, self-esteem and a deep belief in herself — results that lasted long beyond childhood.
Today, SleepTalk® is used worldwide across hundreds of families, and the benefits are often described as miraculous.

A short, loving statement designed over 50 years ago — tailored to your child’s needs, delivered in a warm tone during the correct stage of sleep.
You’re not lecturing, teaching or instructing. You are planting seeds of emotional safety.
And children respond — even when progress seems impossible.
You talk.
They absorb.
Their inner world shifts.
Their behaviour follows.
This is not therapy. This is connection while they sleep.
To achieve lasting change with SleepTalk®, families need to practice:
Every night for at least 10 – 12 weeks .
All siblings are included in the foundation statements.
Phrases must be delivered exactly as taught, without modifying or adding content.
When parents follow the protocol correctly, change happens — gently and predictably.
Just 3 –5 minutes a night can influence a lifetime of confidence.
Like brushing their teeth — you simply don’t skip it.
If you’re a parent, grandparent, caregiver, guardian or someone who loves a child — consider this:
SleepTalk® may be one of the most valuable lifelong gifts you could give.
Calm instead of chaos.
Confidence instead of self-doubt.
Connection instead of behavioural struggle.
