M.D. More and more often, bedtime is a battle that parents just don't have the energy to fight. With the demands of juggling work, running a household, and raising kids, it is easy for parents to be lax about their children's sleep habits. They may not realize that fatigue is the number-one cause of health and behavioral problems, and it is frequently overlooked. If you find that your kids are often cranky, hyperactive, or prone to headaches and growing pains, these are red flags that they may be overtired. Written for tired parents across North America by a child psychiatrist and professor, this amazing baby and toddler sleep program helps take the agony out of bedtime.
Many new parents experience anxious nights with sleepless children.
Families are forced to endure months or even years of insomnia due to their children's habitual inability to sleep, often with considerable consequences for the parents' sense of well-being, and in some cases for the health of marriages and working lives. This book provides a sensible guide to how babies sleep and why they cry. It demonstrates how this knowledge can be applied in practical ways to help the normal, healthy baby establish sleeping patterns that will improve his or her life and benefit the entire family. Families following the program outlined in this book will find a good night's sleep is no longer an impossible dream.
