Supporting Children’s Emotional Wellbeing Through SleepTalk®
Parents often notice when their child is struggling emotionally. Sometimes it shows up as anxiety, difficulty sleeping, emotional outbursts, or changes in behaviour. At other times it is quieter, a child becoming withdrawn, losing confidence, or finding everyday situations overwhelming.
For many families, it can be hard to know how to help.
Agi Mooy has spent many years working with families and children, supporting them through gentle, evidence informed approaches that focus on emotional wellbeing and confidence. Through her work in hypnotherapy and parent education, she helps parents understand how the subconscious mind plays a role in shaping how children think, feel and respond to the world around them.
One of the key tools she shares with families is the SleepTalk® Process.
A Simple Nightly Practice
The SleepTalk® Process is a gentle technique parents can use at home while their child is asleep. It takes only a few minutes each night and focuses on speaking positive, nurturing messages that support a child’s emotional development.
Rather than addressing behaviour directly, the process works with the subconscious mind, where emotional patterns and beliefs are formed. Over time, these positive messages can help children develop confidence, emotional stability and resilience.
For many parents, the beauty of the approach is its simplicity. There is no pressure, no confrontation, and no need for long conversations when a child may already be overwhelmed.

Instead, it becomes a quiet moment of connection and support.
Supporting the Whole Family
Agi often works with parents who feel exhausted, worried, or unsure how to help their child move through emotional challenges.
Children can struggle with many different issues, including:
Anxiety
Sleep difficulties
Emotional overwhelm
Behavioural challenges
Low confidence
While every child is different, one common theme Agi sees is that parents deeply want to help but may not always have the tools to do so.
Parent education plays a central role in her work. By helping parents understand emotional development and the subconscious mind, they are able to support their children in ways that feel calm, respectful and empowering.
A Gentle Approach to Emotional Growth
One of the reasons many families are drawn to the SleepTalk® Process is that it focuses on nurturing emotional safety.
Rather than trying to correct behaviour after it appears, the approach aims to strengthen the child’s internal emotional foundation. When children feel safe, confident and supported internally, their behaviour often shifts naturally.
For parents, this can feel like a more compassionate way of guiding their child through challenges.
From Early Childhood and Beyond
The SleepTalk® Process can be used from pregnancy through early childhood and into the school years. Many parents begin using it as part of their child’s bedtime routine and continue as their child grows.
As children move through different stages of life, whether starting school, navigating friendships, or facing new challenges, the process can continue to reinforce positive beliefs and emotional stability.
Empowering Parents
At the heart of Agi’s work is a simple belief: parents play an incredibly powerful role in shaping their child’s emotional world.
With the right tools and understanding, small daily actions can make a meaningful difference over time.
By sharing approaches like the SleepTalk® Process, Agi hopes to give parents something practical they can use at home. Something that feels manageable, supportive and respectful of the child’s developing mind.
Because sometimes the most powerful changes begin with the quietest moments.
