Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Sleep is a basic building block of your family's health and happiness. It is as natural as it comes, and your child's brains are programmed to develop good sleep from the time they are babies. #2 Good sleep is a basic need that affects your child's happiness, success, and health. Insufficient sleep is like having a big piece of your life's foundation missing. #3 The American Academy of Pediatrics notes that children ages 6 to 10 drink caffeinated beverages eight out of ten days. One study found that two-thirds of children ages 2 to 5 consumed drinks like soda and tea. #4 The recommended amount of sleep for children is between seven and nine hours per day. If your child seems fine with less than the recommended amount of sleep, you might be surprised that he does even better with 30 to 60 minutes more.
