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.
