It's been read in apartments and in tents, in the park and in the classroom; by children in costumes and pyjamas, reading alone or with their friends, their siblings and their parents. Each time it returns to the library it's a little more worn, but a lot more loved.

Raising Sound Sleepers
Helping Children Use Their Senses to Rest and Self-Soothe 5
By Adam Blanning
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.
In this insightful book he offers practical ways in which parents and carers can support children to use their senses from taste, smell and touch, through to balance and movement -- to selfsoothe, sleep and ultimately build resilience for life. Based on extensive research and using clear examples, Dr Blanning explores a range of methods for children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers, and tackles key parental concerns, including: Tips for settling toddlers who always say ‘No!’ How to establish calming daily rhythms Ways to help children settle during times of anxiety Self-soothing techniques that can improve disruptive behaviour.
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.
