Should you take a much-needed vacation or save money for your children’s education? Should you protect the endangered owl or maintain jobs forloggers? How do you handle questions such as these?

Right after “Is it a boy or a girl?” and “What’s his/her name?,” the next question people invariably ask new parents is “Are you getting any sleep?” Unfortunately, the answer is usually “Not much.” In fact, studies show that approximately 25% of young children experience some type of sleep problem and, as any bleary-eyed parent will attest, it is one of the most difficult challenges of parenting. Drawing on her ten years of experience in the assessment and treatment of common sleep problems in children, Dr. Jodi A. Mindell now provides tips and techniques, the answers to commonly asked questions, and case studies and quotes from parents who have successfully solved their children’s sleep problems. Unlike other books on the subject, Dr. Mindell also offers practical tips on bedtime, rather than middle-of-the-night-sleep training, and shows how all members of the family can cope with the stresses associated with teaching a child to sleep….

Here is a refreshing new perspective on approaching our daily struggles by an extraordinary counselor-writer who has “walked the walk”. This is a book filled with hope, wisdom and compassion for what makes us human. The new and original insights presented in this book take the reader beyond the confines of the good and bad of their particular life circumstances. The author points to that it is too simplistic, not to mention futile, to just value happiness, success and the positive half of life. Happiness, success, purpose and meaning aren’t found at the end of some rainbow, or in a life free of the dark side. Release from pain and struggle is finding a new level of integration and a new perspective of the life we have. It points us to embrace the light and the dark and helps us realize that we are bigger and stronger than either. Wise, earthy, practical and deeply spiritual at the same time, the author states that we all have them, those pesky “lame habi… More >>
