I would like to thank Rebecca Michi for allowing me to read a copy of Sleep and Your Child's Temperament, in exchange for my views on her book. After having 8 kids, you would think I would have this sleep-thing down pat. Well, I have always had issues with my all of my children. No issue was the same with any of them. I am so glad that I had the opportunity to read this, as it has completely changed how I handle my kids at bedtime.
My 3 year old was a wild child when it came to his bedtime. He has always had a routine-bath, pj's, reading 1 or 2 bedtime stories, prayer, and Twinkle Twinkle sung by me. This is how it was from the first month on. No matter what order we did these in or what changes I tried, it never stopped him from fighting falling asleep. Of course I came to find out that my sweet baby boy falls into the "Difficult Child" to train category, go figure.
After, reading this book I came to find out that Chapter 3 {Creating Routines That Work} is where I needed to begin tweaking my plan. It never occurred to me that I had to take the whole daily routine into account for a bedtime routine to become more successful.
I enjoyed the fact that Sleep and Your Child's Temperament included many question and answer format pages. This is set up like a "Dear so and so, I have {this problem-what do I do?} and then a letter back giving an answer. The book itself is brimming with tips and tricks, including a lot of problem solving suggestions.
If you are would like more information on this book, please visit Rebecca's website. Or if you are interested in purchasing a copy of your own, you can head to Sleep and Your Child's Temperament's website.

Seems like a great book! My daughter doesn't want to go to sleep most of the evenings and it's a total chaos.
I totally understand that, sounds just like my 3 year old son. But the book really did help in having me realize simple things I could be doing. Chaos is something that I deal with all day long, at night-time I just have to have it end.
