Maryland social worker Kim West is affectionately known as The Sleep Lady® to her satisfied clients. With co-author Joanne Kenen, a journalist and social worker herself, West offers easy-to-learn skills and techniques to help children sleep and stay asleep for longer periods.
West's methods are gentle on the parent and on the child. Her Sleep Lady system provides the framework for understanding a child and sleep, and the tools for modifying behavior. Unlike Dr. Richard Ferber's "cry it out" approach for encouraging a child to sleep, West offers the "Sleep Lady Shuffle," a technique where a parent gradually moves further and further away from their infant, yet still being close enough to be responsive. This technique helps the child grow in confidence that they are not alone.
Sleepless parents of crying twin children will find West's book indispensible.
