Więcej o książce

An international phenomenon now available in America, this quick guide is essential for getting your child to sleep through the night. Many sleep improvement books take either a tough-love approach or a soothing strategy, but an internationally renowned sleep expert offers a middle-ground method suitable for any age. Dr. Eduard Estivill's technique combines authority, ritual, and reward, helping parents break negative cycles of resistance and wakefulness. Key tips include adopting a firm attitude, using meals to signal sleep times, and incorporating comforting elements like stuffed animals at bedtime. It's important to reinforce the difference between day and night and to avoid punishing children by sending them to bed, as this can create negative associations with sleep. Parents will also learn effective phrases to use before and after turning off the light. The guide includes special techniques for newborns and a valuable Q&A section addressing specific concerns, such as co-sleeping, co-parenting after divorce, and strategies for special-needs children. This resource promises restful nights and sweet dreams for both parents and children alike.
