Tatjana Javorina with a family she works with.

Parenthood doesn’t come with instructions.

But it can come with knowledge, understanding and someone to guide you. Inspired by Children was created to bring science closer to everyday family life — so parents can understand their children before trying to change them.

Tatjana Javorina, Founder

I didn’t change careers because I couldn’t do my first one.

I changed because I found something I cared about more.

My name is Tatjana Javorina, founder of Inspired by Children and author of the Philip Method. By formal education, I am a MSc in Law. I graduated from the Faculty of Law in Serbia, and for a while I believed that this was where my professional life would remain. It wasn’t.

At 29, I made the decision to go back to school and gradually move my professional life towards the subjects I had become deeply interested in: child development, physiology, sleep and parenting.

Over the years, I have continued my professional education through international institutions, including the Yale University Parenting Center, Psychological First Aid at Johns Hopkins University, and Harvard Medical School’s HMX program.

Today, my work sits at the intersection of disciplines too often discussed separately: sleep physiology, child development, psychology, emotional regulation and the relationship between a parent and a child.

Being a mother was never my professional qualification.

It was what made me start asking questions.

Education taught me how seriously those questions deserved to be answered.

Our story

It started with a simple idea.

Parents deserve more than another formula to follow. They deserve the answer to “Why?”

Founded in 2021, after years of searching for a more complete way to talk about children’s sleep and development.

Medical explanations on one side. Behavioural solutions on the other. What was missing was a way to bring them together.

Used by more than 14,500 families across Europe.

In 2024, Inspired by Children expanded into the GCC region with an office in Dubai.

In September 2026, the company entered its international phase, bringing The Philip Method© to parents globally in English.

The scale has changed since 2021.

The original idea has not. Inspired by Children works across children’s sleep, development, parenting, emotional regulation and parental leadership, with one principle connecting everything it does: before trying to change what a child is doing, understand why it is happening. Parents don’t need more instructions. They need enough knowledge to understand which instructions make sense for their child.

OUR MISSION

There is more to a child than one discipline.

Biology, development, emotion and relationship — together in the same child. The company's international mission is larger than bringing another sleep methodology to a new market. Through The Philip Method© Inspired by Children wants to contribute to a different conversation about children's sleep — one where families do not have to choose between chronic sleep difficulties and conventional sleep training. The Philip Method© is now moving into a new stage focused on scientific evaluation, in collaboration with universities, sleep laboratories and researchers who want to independently study the methodology and its outcomes.

Sleep should not be understood only as a behaviour to change.

It is a biological process, happening inside a developing child, within a relationship.

Understand the child. Then lead.
