Publisher's Synopsis

Many parents enjoy the positive bonding that comes with having their infant in their bed, but after a few years of having a thrashing, kicking child disturbing your rest and, well, recreation in the evening hours, you'll probably start thinking of ways to remove your child from the family bed. Recent surveys suggest that many parents admit they would like their children to sleep in their own beds but lack the energy or patience for this nighttime battle.

This workbook will help you set limits, not only with respect to keeping kids in their own beds, but also in other areas of your child's life. It will also help you teach children to be more independent and able to get to sleep on their own. This program comes in three week-long phases. First, you'll learn the art of limit-setting. Then you'll find out how to teach kids to be more self-reliant. Finally, both you and your children will work together to become a "sleep-smart" family. The workbook also addresses special circumstances like divorce, fears, death in the family, and so forth.

About the Publisher

Instant Help

For forty years, New Harbinger Publications has brought readers effective, scientifically sound self-help books that deal with a range of topics in psychology, health, and personal growth. Launched by psychologist Matthew McKay and writer Patrick Fanning in 1973, New Harbinger pioneered a style of self-help book that has become the standard of today. Fanning and McKay believed that the job of a self-help book was to teach readers skills they could use to significantly improve the quality of their lives. These books might inspire and enlighten in their own way, but they had to offer real tools for real change. McKay and Fanning's writing partnership has yielded a dozen highly successful titles which have established the model for New Harbinger's other books.
