Publisher's Synopsis
Maybe your son has fears and anxieties that don't put him to sleep, and you don't know? Maybe your son isn't tired enough, after a euphoric day, to listen to your bedtime stories? Maybe, your son may have too much energy still pent up within his or her little body. Maybe, your son may be feeling like their mind is racing too much. Maybe, when your son is eager to stretch out being awake longer than ever, perhaps there is another problem at heart. Your son may be craving that extra time with you. Maybe, they may need your help; after all, children turn to their parents in times of need, and they ask their parents for the help and guidance that is necessary to help them calm down. Maybe, what your child needs more than anything else is for you to change things up.
