Are you the parent of a child ages 3-10 who is not yet a good sleeper? Parents of babies and toddlers are given lots of advice to help them improve their child’s sleep, but parents of older children are often not sure what to do if their kids still don’t sleep well. Parents (with all of the right intentions, of course) often do two things at bedtime that may make their children worse sleepers: allowing too many extra requests after the bedtime routine is over, and staying with a child until he or she falls completely asleep. Parents do these two things, of course, with the hope that their children will fall asleep more quickly but these two things can instead lead to extended bedtime routines and night wakings.
This session will be led by Dr. Lynelle Schneeberg, PsyD, who is the author of Become Your Child’s Sleep Coach: The Bedtime Doctor’s 5-Step Guide, Ages 3-10. During the session, Dr. Schneeberg will share her 5-Step Guide and these steps will help your child become an independent sleeper who can fall asleep independently and stay in his or her own bed all night long. Her book will also be available for purchase at her presentation or you may purchase it ahead of time wherever books are sold and bring any questions you have about the book’s content to the session. This session is being held in partnership with Being Well at Yale and WorkLife. Lynelle Schneeberg PsyD is pediatric sleep psychologist, an assistant professor at the Yale School of Medicine, and a Fellow of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
