What to Do When You Dread Your Bed, 2nd Edition
A Kid's Guide to Overcoming Problems with Sleep
From the Series What-to-Do Guides for Kids
Wouldn’t it be great if your kids could climb into bed, snuggle under the covers, and fall asleep without any fuss or fear? Without listening for noises or thinking about bad guys? Without an extra drink, or an extra hug, or an extra trip to the bathroom?
Bedtime is tough for many kids. If your kid dreads their bed, and you’re convinced that nothing short of magic will make nighttime easier, this book is for them.
What to Do When You Dread Your Bed, 2nd Edition, uses evidence-based tools to help children and their parents address problems with sleep. Fears, busy brains, restless bodies, and overdependence on parents are all tackled as children gain the skills they need for more peaceful nights. The updated edition pairs everything that worked so well in the original—the conversational tone, interactive elements, clear and actionable strategies—with new tools, new illustrations, and up-to-date expert advice. It’s the complete resource for educating, motivating, and empowering children to fall asleep and stay asleep—like magic!
This book is part of the What-to-Do Guides for Kids series and includes an introduction to parents and caregivers.
