Families function most smoothly when every family member is well-rested. Yet modern parents and children rarely get an adequate quantity or quality of sleep and parents often disagree on what an ideal sleep scenario is and how to achieve it. Erica Desper founded Confident Parenting in 2011 following her own struggle with sleep deprivation and has since supported countless local, national and international families to navigate that challenge and more. Erica is the sleep specialist for Center City Pediatrics and for parenting consultant Jamie Glowacki, author of Oh Crap! Potty-Training.

Erica has been named "Best Sleep Consultant" and "Family Favorite Sleep Consultant 12 times by the Main Line Parent, Philadelphia Family, & Bucks County Parent communities. Erica is the sleep specialist for Center City Pediatrics as well as an Oh Crap! Certified Potty Training consultant recommended by author & parenting consultant Jamie Glowacki. Erica is also the parent of a neurodivergent teenager and the founder of the Confident Parenting Collective where she brings together the best local resources for parents navigating the special needs parenting journey.

Typically families work virtually with another consultant on her team for 2-4 weeks to create and implement a plan. This exclusive offering, in collaboration with Main Line Family Matters, allows you to meet with Erica herself and in-office to ask your most burning questions about your child or families sleep habits and/or setbacks, or your potty training goals and/or toilet training challenges without a long-term commitment.
