Description: Here is an exciting new way for parents to help children effectively deal with various age-specific issues. Lois Y. Haddad, a registered nurse, developed "sleep talk" as she cared for chronically ill children. She would utter positive messages to her young patients as they were experiencing their deepest pattern of sleep, when children and adults are most receptive to subconscious messages. She found the children responded well to her nightly talk, which helped them on their road to recovery.

This innovative practice can be applied to a myriad of child problems, from night-waking and thumb-sucking, to school phobia and sharing. Haddad suggests that parents continue "sleep talk" after the problem has been conquered to maintain a stream of love and support. This practice is mutually beneficial for parents and children; for adults, it's a chance to release negativity and reinforce the love and pride for the child.

The author explains in simple terms how "sleep talk" works, why it works, and how to perform "sleep talk." She even includes dozens of sample scripts for parents to implement with their children; they can be used as they are or adapted to fit each situation. Dozens of anecdotes from other parents who have successfully used "sleep talk" to solve their children's problems bear witness to its effectiveness.

-- Unique in the market of parenting books that try to tackle childhood problems
