About this listen

UPDATED IN 2024

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 little kids develop the self-soothing skills they need to:

  • fall asleep independently
  • establish a full, 11-12 hour night of sleep
  • take regular, 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.

*Includes a Bonus PDF with worksheets and charts

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
