A sleep personality ... well of course! Both of my boys have such big personalities when they're awake, it only makes sense that they'd have (differing) sleep personalities, too. That was my greatest ah-ha moment in reading Stephanie's book. Now I feel like as though I have the proper tools to help my youngest son get the sleep that his little body needs. And, to me, these tools and methods feel much more loving and heart-centered than what I had tried when my older son was this age. I thought I had read all there was to read on this subject, because I would love to get a great night of sleep again soon. Now that feels attainable. Don't just add this book to your list; read it and get the sleep you and your kids deserve!

I had high hopes from the title but it doesn't have all the answers. It does offer some small tips and positive mental attitude is recommended which is never a bad thing. But I guess children and parents are too unique to make it applicable to all situations.

I got some good ideas from this book--mostly about monitoring your stress level and anxiety to see if you're passing that along at bedtime. Not very good at delving into the details, however.
