About this title

Review

"The Happy Sleeper makes happier parents by unleashing their child's natural ability to sleep with a sensitive, structured approach based on the authors' combined twenty years of clinical experience."
--Dr. Mehmet Oz

"Clear a space on your bookshelf! You'll be consulting this friendly, research-based guide to the blessings of sleep for you and your little ones for many years to come."
--Adele Faber, co-author of How To Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk

"Compassionate, courageous, and creative. . . Heather Turgeon and Julie Wright have written a user-friendly, scientifically-informed, practical guide that provides the information and intention you need to cultivate healthy sleeping habits not only for your child, but for yourself as well! Give your children the relationship security they need while also providing them the structure they require to sleep well and thrive."
--from the foreword by Daniel J. Siegel, MD, New York Times-bestselling author of Brainstorm: The Power and Purpose of the Teenage Brain

"An important resource for parents seeking to give their children a lifetime of quality sleep. Good sleep habits are vital to child development and overall health, and The Happy Sleeper offers real-world strategies for getting children the sleep they need."
--David M. Cloud, CEO, National Sleep Foundation

"Solid information on children's brain development and physiology supports a clear and systematic "attunement" philosophy that strikes a happy balance between "cry it out" and "over-helping." Turgeon and Wright's compassionate but firm system reminds parents that even the smallest infants are already learners, and to be cognizant of what they want to teach."
--Publishers Weekly
