How to Help your Child Become a Great Sleeper in 5 Easy Steps

Are you the parent of a child ages 3-10 who is not yet a good sleeper?

Parents of babies and toddlers are given lots of advice to help them

improve their child’s sleep, but parents of older children are often not

sure what to do if their kids still don’t sleep well. Parents (with all

of the right intentions, of course!) often do two things at bedtime

that may make their children worse sleepers: allowing too many extra

requests after the bedtime routine is over, and staying with a child

until he or she falls completely asleep. Parents do these two things, of

course, with the hope that their children will fall asleep more quickly

but these two things can instead lead to extended bedtime routines and

night wakings. In this session, you will learn five easy steps to help

your child become an independent sleeper who can stay in his or her own

bed all night long.
