An urgent message for sleep-deprived parents: You don't have to suffer through "cry-it-out" parenting OR attachment parenting's "co-sleeping." This book shows parents how to avoid and undo cumbersome sleep habits, putting their babies and little kids on track to a full night's sleep.

An intimate glimpse inside a silent epidemic that is harming teens, and a pathway for parents to help them reclaim the restorative power of sleep.If you could protect your child from unnecessary anxiety, depression, and chronic stress, and foster a greater sense of happiness and well-being in their lives, wouldn¿t you? In this book, the authors of The Happy Sleeper, the classic book on helping babies and young children develop healthy sleep habits, uncover one of the greatest threats to our teenagers¿ physical and mental health: sleep deprivation. Caught in a perfect storm of omnipresent screens, academic overload, and unnecessarily early school-start times, our children are operating in a constant state of sleep debt while struggling to meet the demands of adolescence.In this essential book, Heather Turgeon and Julie Wright draw on the latest scientific research to reveal that today¿s teenagers are, in fact, the most sleep-deprived population in human history. In fact, at a critical phase of development, many teens need more sleep than their younger siblings ¿ but they¿re getting drastically less. Generation Sleepless guides families in building healthy habits around sleep by:¿ establishing family agreements around sleep habits;¿ altering family practices around phones, social media, and screen time;¿ regaining overall equilibrium in the home; and¿ remaking bedtime routinesPacked with years of research and in-depth reporting, Generation Sleepless is a wake-up call for parents that equips them with the right tools to start a family conversation about sleep and to ultimately regain connection with their tweens and teens.

Many parents feel pressured to "train" babies and young children to sleep, but kids don't need to be trained to sleep, they're built to sleep. Sleep issues arise when parents (with the best of intentions) over-help or "helicopter parent" at night-overshadowing their baby's innate biological ability to sleep well. In The Happy Sleeper, child sleep experts Heather Turgeon and Julie Wright show parents how to be sensitive and nurturing, but also clear and structured so that babies and young children develop the self-soothing skills they need to: • Fall asleep independently • Sleep through the night • Take healthy naps • Grow into natural, optimal sleep patterns for day and night The Happy Sleeper is a research-based guide to helping children do what comes naturally-sleep through the night. The Happy Sleeper features a foreword by neuropsychiatrist and popular parenting expert Dr. Daniel Siegel, author of Parenting from the Inside Out and the New York Times bestseller Brainstorm.
