From a leading pediatric sleep physician comes a revolutionary program that will have everyone in the house sleeping through the night.When Dr. Craig Canapari became a father, he realized that all his years of 36-hour hospital shifts didn't even come close to preparing him for the sleep deprivation that comes with parenthood. The difference is that parents don't get a break—it's hard to know if there's a night of uninterrupted sleep anywhere in the foreseeable future. Sleepless nights for kids mean sleepless nights for the rest of the family—and a grumpy group around the breakfast table in the morning. In It's Never Too Late to Sleep Train, Canapari helps parents harness the power of habit to chart a clear path to high-quality sleep for their children. The result is a streamlined two-step sleep training plan that focuses on cues and consequences, the two elements that shape all habits and that take on special importance when it comes to kids'bedtime routines. Dr. Canapari distills years of clinical research and experience to make sleep training simple and stress-free. Even if you've been told that you've missed the optimal'window'for sleep training, Dr. Canapari is here to prove that it's never too late, whether your child is 6 months or 6 years old. He's on your side in the battle against bedtime, and with his advice, parents and children alike can expect a lifetime of healthy sleep.

From ages 4-10, at least twenty-five percent of kids have sleep problems. Sleep Wrecked Kids guides parents towards good sleep as the norm, allowing themselves and their children to grow and thrive. Speech pathologist and myofunctional practitioner Sharon Moore teaches parents why “bad sleep” is connected to a myriad of health problems, what “good sleep” actually means, how to identify red flags for sleep problems, how to improve sleep quality by improving airway health, and so much more! Parents are empowered to not only get more sleep themselves, but also to help their children get the sleep they need—every night.

This book addresses one of the major issues of modern pediatrics: the relationship between sleep and breathing in infants. The content of this book is based on the author's personal experience, as well as on up-to-date findings in the field. The necessity to present the most important knowledge on sleep physiology, sleep structure in infants, mechanisms supporting respiration in normal infants, functional changes in certain sleep stages, as well as the most characteristic forms of breathing disturbances in sleeping infants was taken into consideration. Chronobiological aspects of functional respiratory characteristics have also been tackled. Much attention has been paid to the quality of infant behavior associated with sleep disturbances and breathing disturbances in sleep, relationship between micro environmental characteristics and sleep impairments. Possible association between infant apnea and sudden infant death syndrome is considered as well; other topics include mechanisms of infant snoring in sleep and its relation to the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome; sleep-related breathing disturbances occurring against a background of chronic broncho-pulmonary diseases, and possible approaches to clinical studies in infants with sleep-related breathing disturbances and their treatment.
