Sleep problems are common in children. Between 25-40% of youth experience sleep difficulties such as sleep anxiety, insomnia, frequent waking, delayed circadian rhythm, night terrors, and nocturnal enuresis or encopresis at some point during childhood or adolescence. Yet, most healthcare providers receive little if any training in pediatric sleep problems-and most training that does exist tends to emphasize medical rather than behavioral interventions.
This book presents highly effective behavioral interventions for common pediatric sleep problems. Step-by-step instructions show readers how to clinically assess and treat children from toddlers to teenagers, and case examples apply the instructions to real-life scenarios. The authors also provide over 30 handouts and worksheets for parents and children, including sleep logs and directions for a series of creative, at-home interventions, all of which can also be downloaded from a supplemental website.

Industry Reviews

"This is an excellent book that is easy to read, very practical, and contains 33 useful handouts. It should be in the libraries of all clinicians who address sleep problems in children."
-Doody's Review Service
"This well-written text represents a clinical practice niche in pediatric psychology that has come of age and is showing its clear relevance for a wide range of child and adolescent functioning." -PsycCRITIQUES (R)
"The text is well written, comprehensive, up-to-date, and absolutely practical for day-to-day clinical use. I applaud the authors on their attention to detail, accuracy, and lack of deficiencies. This book is appropriate for medical students, residents, fellows, mid-level providers, pediatric primary care providers (pediatricians, family practitioners), psychologists, and sleep medicine specialists. Even a veteran, experienced sleep specialist will learn something new within these chapters." -Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine
"This is a compelling book that offers clinicians the most complete behavioral intervention guidelines for pediatric sleep problems currently available. The authors were able to translate a vast amount of research into practical application without sacrificing treatment rigor and integrity. The arrangement of chapter by sleep problem also gives clinicians quick access to the most effective treatments." -New England Psychologist
