Rent: Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems: New, Revised, and Expanded Edition

By Richard Ferber

Overview & Description

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.

Excellent beach read, a great rebound from the disappointing #3 in the series.

Edward E. writes,

This series just keeps getting better and better. After just the first paragraph I couldn't put the book down. Not often do I find a book that holds my interest so intensely. With such great interaction between writer and reader the only way to get more is to read two at the same time while waiting for the next one to come "hot" off the presses. Please keep them coming.

My Tongue Fell Out

Joseph D. writes,

I really enjoy these books & try not too take them to seriously. I like to be entertained when I read fiction and to be taken away into a fantasy world. I read a lot of non-fiction, so this type of book is an escape for me. My only negative thing is that they are not developing the character that replaced Jill very well, we don't know that much about her & her interactions with the other club members seems to be limited. I really wish they would not have killed Jill.
