Help children of all ages learn life-long skills—how to sleep, self-soothe, and feel calm. An easy-to-absorb, holistic guide from physician and child-development consultant Adam Blanning.

What can parents do to avoid bedtime meltdowns? Why do established settling routines stop working? How can children be encouraged to fall asleep more consistently? What simple, natural steps can parents take to help children feel calm?

Sleep and rest aren't always the natural processes we expect them to be. Dr. Adam Blanning, child-development consultant and holistic physician, suggests that they are learned skills which grow with children alongside physical developmental stages. In this insightful book, he offers practical ways in which parents can support children to use their senses—from taste, smell, and touch through to balance and movement—to self-soothe, sleep, and ultimately build resilience for life.

Based on extensive research and using clear examples, Dr. Blanning explores a range of methods for children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers, and tackles key parental concerns, including:

• Tips for settling toddlers who always say ‘No!’
• How to establish calming daily rhythms
• Ways to help children settle during times of anxiety
• Self-soothing techniques that can improve disruptive behavior

Raising Sound Sleepers is an invaluable resource that will empower parents and carers to guide children towards rest, sleep, and feeling calm—skills that will last a lifetime.
