Banish Bedtime Battles, the ultimate six-week plan to help your school-aged child sleep indepently

Banish those bedtime battles for good.

According to our ongoing research, most families struggle with sleep problems. While this veritable epidemic keeps millions of parents from getting a good night's sleep themselves, the bigger problem is the effects on the kids. Sleep problems can put children at greater risk of anxiety, depression, and substance abuse. Though a host of books are meant to help new parents get babies to sleep, there are virtually no resources for the millions of parents of school-age children. Banish Bedtime Battles: The Ultimate Six-Week Plan to Help Your School-Aged Child Sleep Independently offers desperate parents a scientifically based, effective six-week program for getting children to sleep independently while increasing their well-being and sense of self-confidence.

Advance Praise for Banish Bedtime Battles

Dr. Flannery-Schroeder and Tucker’s well-informed and clearly written Banish Bedtime Battles provides an effective approach to help your school-aged child achieve independent sleep…. Importantly, the authors’ six-week plan… provides (a) the details for the specific methods to employ, (b) easy-to-relate-to illustrative case examples, and (c) a flexible style that allows for personalization—all of which will get you to the goal. Not a magic pill, or an overclaimed sudden success, this well-researched approach fully merits sticking with it to enjoy the added rest, increased independence of your developing child, and a less stressful bedtime.”
