Many parents struggle with sleep when their children are babies - and
there are hundreds of books on the subject - but what happens to
night-time parenting when you have a toddler or older child and the
strategies that may have worked for your baby no longer seem to be
helping? Older children's sleep is often complicated by factors which
cannot be addressed simply by optimising a nap or tweaking the bedtime
routine, and parents can feel frustrated and confused when their older
children continue to wake at night or find it hard to settle.
Still Awake is a relatable and non-judgemental book for parents of
children aged 18 months to 12 years old, and those that work with them,
which explains the science of children's sleep and provides a multitude
of practical and creative tools to support sleep, reduce conflict at
bedtime and improve relationships. Firmly rooted in gentle and
respectful parenting, it is an essential tool for improving night-times
for the whole family.
Still Awake includes:
Expert contributions from more than 20 professionals from all over the
world who work in sleep and related fields with this age group
Advice for parents of children who are adopted/fostered, or who have
chronic health problems and disability
Perspectives from parents from around the world and from different
cultures
