Why Won't You Sleep?!
BenBella Books (Verlag)
978-1-63774-533-5 (ISBN)
Researcher and sleep coach Macall Gordon and the Sleep Lady Kim West offer a tried-and-true approach to shifting sleep behavior that actually works . . . even when nothing else has.
A tsunami of modern sleep training methods promise “easy” and “quick” results and for many parents and children, these methods work as intended. However, there is a large, exhausted group of parents whose children have sleep problems that are not responsive to those crying-based methods.
These children tend to be more reactive, persistent, and perceptive than their peers. And when it comes to sleep, little ones with this kind of temperament put up a much, much bigger fight. They need a different approach. That’s where Why Won’t You Sleep? comes in.
Based on extensive research and proven methods used with thousands of families just like yours, this guide gives you strategies tailored to your child’s unique temperament. Readers will learn:
Why popular sleep training techniques don’t work for some children
The strengths and challenges of your child’s temperament traits
Simple changes to your child’s routine and environment that set you up for success
How to create a plan for your child, using the time-tested approach that doesn’t require leaving anyone alone to cry
Tips, tricks, and workarounds for bedtime shenanigans, night wakings, co-sleeping, and more
How to confidently push past plateaus and setbacks
Along the way, Gordon and West provide much-needed encouragement, validation, and insights to bolster parents’ self-confidence and resilience. Why Won’t You Sleep?! gives you concrete answers to why sleep has been more challenging for these kiddos—and offers parents a much-needed dose of “I’ve got this!”
