If you’re reading this, you’re probably exhausted—and you’re definitely not failing. Sleep struggles are one of the most common and draining challenges of parenthood, yet they’re rarely tackled with the warmth and practicality they deserve. This book is different. It’s not about rigid schedules or cry-it-out dogma. It’s about understanding what’s really going on beneath your child’s resistance to sleep—developmental leaps, temperament, separation anxiety, sensory needs—and giving you flexible, evidence-based tools to respond. Whether your child is a newborn with flipped nights, a toddler who keeps escaping the crib, a preschooler with night terrors, or an older child who lies awake for hours, you’ll find approaches that protect your connection and your sanity. You’ll learn how to set gentle boundaries, create routines that actually stick, handle night wakings without chaos, and protect your own sleep too. Written by a parenting educator who has been in the trenches herself, this guide is free of shame and full of real-world strategies. Your family’s rest is possible—and you don’t have to lose yourself to find it. Part of The Everyday Parenting Library.
