5 Days to a Perfect Night's Sleep for Your Child - The Secrets to Making Bedtime a Dream (Paperback)

An international phenomenon now available in America for the first time, this quick, no-nonsense guide is all you need to get your child to sleep through the night (pillow not included).
These days, most books on improving your child's sleep take either a tough-love approach (ignore crying) or a soothing strategy (offer continuous comfort). But now an internationally renowned sleep expert provides a middle-ground method that will have your child sleeping through the night at any age. Dr. Eduard Estivill's no-fail technique focuses on a mixture of authority, ritual, and reward. Parents can end negative cycles of resistance and wakefulness and feel as rested as their child will by following these expert tips:
- Adopt a firm and confident attitude (your child will pick up on your mood).
- Use meals as a cue to announce your child's next nap or nighttime sleep.
- Incorporate appropriate elements (such as a stuffed animal or a pacifier) at bedtime so your child will not rely on you as a vital part of the sleep process.
- Reinforce the contrast between light (day) and dark (night).
- Never punish children by making them go to bed (it sends the wrong message about sleep time).
- Learn what to say before--and after--the light is turned off.
Complete with special techniques to use with newborns, plus an invaluable question-and-answer section that addresses specific concerns (children sleeping in their parents' bed, how divorced parents can work together, special-needs children), this sanity-saving guide promises sweet dreams for all.
