The Book of Sleep for the Whole Family

More peace, energy, and balance for babies, children, and parents

Finally sleep in again!
If we are to thrive, sleep is very important throughout human development. This comprehensive sleep book for all ages—from newborns to teenagers and parents—answers all the important questions about sleep: When can and should children start sleeping in their own bed? What can help babies fall asleep, and what is suitable for toddlers? Do all children need an afternoon nap? How does sleep behavior change in later childhood up to puberty and what role does social media play in this?
Educator and family counselor Susanne Mierau not only knows how to help babies and children sleep well. Based on scientific findings, she also describes how adults sleep today and how parents can compensate for a lack of sleep at night, how they can remain sensitive and reconcile everyone’s sleep needs. She presents various sleep settings and sleep environments and critically examines social aspects such as the expectations facing mothers, who sleep the least while babies grow up. Numerous ideas and tips, such as rituals for falling asleep for young and old, offer solutions.

“There are many sleep books for babies and toddlers. This book also aims to help parents to finally get the sleep they need and at the same time enable their children to sleep according to their needs, from baby to teenager.” Susanne Mierau
