    The Sleep Fairy

    Janie Peterson, Macy Peterson, Shawn Newlun

    Hardcover (Behaven Kids Pr Inc, April 15, 2003)
    Helping children learn to stay in bed after they have been tucked in for the night is a challenge all parents face. The most common advice given to parents whose children have problems at bedtime is "Put them to bed and let them cry themselves to sleep" however, most parents just aren't comfortable doing this. Child behavior specialist Janie Peterson (LMHP) has a much better solution. Peterson has helped parents deal with bedtime issues for years and developed a method that she has shared with the families she counsels. The success rate has been outstanding. Now, with the help of Peterson's delightful new book, The Sleep Fairy, families everywhere can have pleasant bedtimes. Peterson's method - which is effective with children 2-years old and up - is easy. First, parents establish the family's bedtime routine and explain the rules to their children in a clear and simple way. Next, comes a reading of The Sleep Fairy. (After a few nights, parents can choose to read just the poem about the Sleep Fairy and not the entire book.) Then, if all the bedtime rules have been followed, the Sleep Fairy visits during the night and leaves a special surprise. Not following the rules means no visit and no reward. In the story, the characters, Molly and Katie, learn what is expected of them at bedtime and are motivated by the anticipation of finding a gift from the Sleep Fairy. Using Peterson's technique, teaching children to stay in bed is a simple as sprinkling fairy dust. Eventually, children learn to feel good about staying in bed and falling asleep without whining, crying or begging. (This, ultimately, is the parent's reward.) The Sleep Fairy is a resource that parents can easily adapt to meet the needs of their own families. Peterson suggests parents add details to the story so that it more closely matches their own children's bedtime routine. Try it! It works...and happy bedtime!

    Katherine Havener, Sara Burrier

    Hardcover (Elea Press, April 20, 2011)
    Nursies When the Sun Shines is a godsend to parents of nursing toddlers, exhausted from late night wakings for milk. Beautiful watercolor illustrations and a sweet, lulling verse help young children understand the concept of night and day. Night time, the book explains, is for sleeping.

When the toddler wakes at night for nursies, mom shows her baby that it s dark outside, and assures baby that she ll have nursies when the sun shines. Later, with brilliant sun streaming through the window, the toddler knows it s time for nursies. The book closes with a heart-warming illustration of a nursing family: the toddler, nuzzled up to mama s breast, daddy kissing toddler s head, and even the family cat purring a love song. Nursies is a groundbreaking children s book, the first-ever to focus on night weaning. Its goal is to facilitate communication between parent and young child, thereby making the process of night weaning as gentle and easy as possible.

The transition of moving to a 'big-kid bed' can be daunting but have no fear - Louie is here to help!In the first book of its series, Louie is a super elephant who is always ready for adventure, but he's not too sure about his new 'big-kid bed.' Tired and weary, he decides to find his courage and give it a try.Then comes the biggest surprise of all ...With sweet rhymes and beautiful illustrations, this children's book inspires bravery and greatness. This 'Big-Kid Bed' book is perfect for:Crib to bed transitionHelping your toddler sleep through the nightHelping with toddler sleep problemsHelping toddler stay in his or her bedEncouraging imagination, courage and braveryOvercoming toddler milestones and transitionsPromoting toddler imagination and playA Note from the Publisher:Help your toddler find their courage that he or she needs to quickly conquer new milestones without stress or overwhelm. The toddler years can be the most amazing, yet challenging times. On one hand, it's hard to believe that your little one is growing up before your eyes (and it's the most incredible joy to be part of) but on the other hand, with growing up comes change and new milestones.These toddler transitions can often be daunting for both the child and the parent. We created the character, Louie, with your child in mind. It's our goal that your child will instantly relate to Louie's adventurous spirit, independence, and fun-loving nature. He or she will giggle through this sweet, rhythmic story but also learn that change can be overcome by a little courage and that the outcome can actually lead to even more fun and adventure! We understand that there are many different tactics and tools to conquer toddler transitions (and that each household may handle them differently), however, we strongly believe that before technique there needs to be a want and desire within the child. The same is true for adults. Think about it, there's a small chance you're going to learn a foreign language if you don't have the desire. You can be thrown into some of the best classrooms and programs but will have a hard time grasping the information until you're actually interested and motivated. Louie's Little Lessons' sole focus is to ignite curiosity and motivation when it comes to facing change (then, the technicalities can be taught whichever way you chose), however, the first and most challenging step is establishing the correct mindset. We hope to help your child finds his/her desire to embrace change and courage for years to come. This is a wonderful bravery book for kids! And don't forget to check out our toddler milestone charts!CHECK OUT ALL OUR PRODUCTS: bravelouie.comAUTHOR CONTACT: liz@bravelouie.comA Big Kid Bed is Coming worked perfectly, thank you!!This book was INCREDIBLE and worked absolutely perfectly for my 3 year old boy/girl twins. A lot of books show a kid giving excuses for why they don t want to be in a big kid bed which a child can just copy. In this book, the sweet elephant shows the kid all the fun things you can do while IN the bed! Just added the book from this series with Louie eating veggies to my cart. We LOVE Louie!
