Raising Sound Sleepers

Helping Children Use Their Senses to Rest and Self-Soothe

A Waldorf Guide to Children's Health

By Adam Blanning

5

What can parents do to avoid bedtime meltdowns? Why do established settling routines stop working? How can children be encouraged to fall asleep more consistently? What simple, natural steps can parents take to help children feel calm? Sleep and rest aren’t always the natural processes we expect them to be. Dr Adam Blanning, child-development consultant and holistic physician, suggests that they are learned skills which grow with children alongside physical developmental stages.

When a child is sick, parents need clear, reliable information to help them take action quickly. This fully comprehensive guide to child health and wellness, draws on anthroposophic medicine, combining conventional treatments with complementary therapies.

Raising Sound Sleepers is an invaluable resource that will empower parents and carers to guide children towards rest, sleep and feeling calm -- skills that will last a lifetime.

Based on the bestselling A Guide To Child Health, this essential reference guide has been fully revised and updated for today's parents.
