Why Won't You SLEEP?!

by Macall Gordon, MA and
Kim West, MSW (The Sleep Lady)

AVAILABLE NOW!

Most sleep training methods promise “easy” and “quick” results with the baby sleeping all the way through with just a minimal amount of crying. For many, this is what happens.

 

However . . .

 

There's a big group of exhausted parents, for whom crying-based methods are not quick or easy or effective. In fact, no methods have worked like the books promised they would.

 

I am willing to bet, dear pooped-out parent, that you have a little one who is more alert, intense, persistent, and perceptive than other children you know (or other children you have). I am guessing that when it comes to sleep, they put up a much, much bigger fight.

 

These "little livewires" require a whole different approach. This book offers a working understanding of how temperament impacts sleep and game-changing strategies to finally move the needle on the dumpster fire that sleep is now.

What's
in it?

Contents

  • What is a livewire temperament, and how does it affect sleep? (How does it NOT?)

  • What are the astonishing gifts that underlie challenging traits

  • ​Why your journey as a parent differs from other parents you know (you're not making it up.)

  • Why sleep is so hard for livewires

  • A step-by-step research-backed approach to improving sleep that doesn't include leaving the room and letting anyone cry.

  • How to craft a plan that's customizable and tolerable

  • What to do if you veer off course and how to get back on track

  • How to take care of you in all of this

  • Also includes a downloadable workbook with all of the worksheets and templates you will need.

 Your book was like oxygen. It was so good to know there were words to describe our little guy so perfectly.

The suggestions worked the first night. It gave me the courage to make changes because I knew it was really about my child, not some easier one.
