Book SynopsisMany children experience sleep problems and their parents often seek help for what can be a nightly disruption to the entire family. Difficulty getting a good night''s sleep can also impact a child''s functioning during the day. In addition, sleep problems often accompany and can contribute to other disorders. Despite common belief, children do not simply ''grow out of'' most sleep problems. While medications are often prescribed, they may have serious side-effects and have not been proven effective in children. However, there is more than twenty years of psychological research supporting non-pharmacological interventions for children''s sleep problems.This comprehensive guide provides intervention options for a wide variety of sleep problems, including bedtime disturbances, night waking, sleep terrors, and nightmares.
