Book Reviews of Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems
Book Review: Way better than Healthy Sleep Habits/Weissbluth
Summary: 5 Stars
Our Pediatrician recommended Healthy Sleep Habits...by Marc Weissbluth but the Ferber book is way better. Ferber is more forgiving (with his graduated extinction approach) than Weissbluth. Weissbluth book also came across as very "preachy" and not well-organized. The 2 books area said to contradict each other in some ways (length of sleep requirement, for one), but this book really hit the mark for us--especially after wondering why our child wasn't falling into the Weissbluth pattern. Get this book for sleep training your child! Buy it FIRST...but especially consider it if the Weissbluth method is failing you.
Summary of Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems
You've tried everything. Warm milk. Bedtime stories. Sharing your bed. But your child still has problems falling asleep. Dr. Richard Ferber can help. Director of the Sleep Laboratory and Center for Pediatric Sleep Disorders at Children's Hospital in Boston, Dr. Ferber is widely recognized as the nation's leading authority on children's sleep problems.
Practical and easy to understand, Solve Your Childs' Sleep Problems tells you how to handle these situations in children aged one to six:
* Refusing to go to bed
* Colic and other medical problems
* Restlessness and insomnia
* Night terrors
* Bedwetting
* Headbanging and body rocking
And other problems that keep you and your child awake in the night.
Based on six years of intensive research in a top medical facility, Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems is packed with tips, suggestions, sample problems and solutions, and a bibliography of children's "go-to-sleep" books.
When your child isn't sleeping, chances are that you aren't either. Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems--a tired parent's essential for more than 10 years--offers valuable advice and concrete help when lullabies aren't enough to lull your child into dreamland. Based on Ferber's research as the director of Boston's Center for Pediatric Sleep Disorders at Children's Hospital, the book is a practical, easy-to-understand guide to common sleeping problems for children ages one to six. Detailed case histories on night waking, difficulty sleeping, and more serious disorders such as sleep apnea and sleepwalking help illustrate a wide variety of problems and their solutions. New parents will benefit from Ferber's proactive advice on developing good sleeping patterns and daily schedules to ensure that sleeping problems don't develop in the first place. You'll also find a bibliography of children's books on bedtime, sleep, and dreaming, as well as a list of helpful organizations. Here's a book that is sure to put you and your whole family to sleep--in this case, that's a good thing.
