Description
Many parents feel pressured to “train” babies and young children to sleep but kids don’t want to be trained to sleep, they’re built to sleep. Sleep issues arise when parents (with the most productive of intentions) over-lend a hand or “helicopter parent” at night—overshadowing their baby’s innate biological ability to sleep well. In The Happy Sleeper child sleep experts Heather Turgeon and Julie Wright show parents the best way to be sensitive and nurturing, but in addition clear and structured in order that babies and young children develop the self-soothing skills they need to
• Go to sleep independently
• Sleep during the night
• Take healthy naps
• Grow into natural, optimal sleep patterns for day and night
The Happy Sleeper is a research-based guide to helping children do what comes naturally—sleep during the night.
The Happy Sleeper includes a foreword by neuropsychiatrist and popular parenting expert Dr. Daniel Siegel, creator of Parenting from the Inside Out and the New York Times bestseller Brainstorm.
