For the Love of Kids 2006 Practical Parenting Conference

Elizabeth Pantley

WORKSHOP TITLE: The No-Cry Sleep Solution: Gentle ways to help your baby or toddler sleep better.

WORKSHOP OVERVIEW: Up to 70% of children under age five have sleep problems. Sleep issues are complicated and have many causes. They’re hard to deal with because when children aren’t sleeping, parents aren’t sleeping, and that lack of sleep affects every minute of every day for every person in the family because lack of sleep isn’t just about being tired.  Sleep has a role in everything -- dawdling, fussiness, temper tantrums, hyperactivity, growth, health, and even learning to walk, talk, tie shoes and recite the ABCs. Sleep affects everything.  In this workshop, learn how to help your child (birth to age 4) sleep better so you can sleep better, too.
