—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
