Still Awake: Responsive sleep tools for toddlers to tweens
Many parents struggle with sleep when their children are babies – and there are hundreds of books on the subject – but what happens to night-time parenting when you have a toddler or older child and the strategies that may have worked for your baby no longer seem to be helping? Older children’s sleep is often complicated by factors which cannot be addressed simply by optimising a nap or tweaking the bedtime routine, and parents can feel frustrated and confused when their older children continue to wake at night or find it hard to settle.

Still Awake is a relatable and non-judgemental book for parents of children aged 18 months to 12 years old, and those that work with them, which explains the science of children’s sleep and provides a multitude of practical and creative tools to support sleep, reduce conflict at bedtime and improve relationships. Firmly rooted in gentle and respectful parenting, it is an essential tool for improving night-times for the whole family.

Still Awake includes:
  • Expert contributions from more than 20 professionals from all over the world who work in sleep and related fields with this age group
  • Advice for parents of children who are adopted/fostered, or who have chronic health problems and disability
  • Perspectives from parents from around the world and from different cultures
